The Dubai International Film Festival (DIFF) is teaming up with Bahrains annual Naqsh Short Film Festival to showcase 14 films to audiences in Manama from the 15-19 October at the Seef Mall Cinemas.
The films, which had already touched the hearts of audiences at the previous editions of DIFF and the Gulf Film Festival (GFF), range from a touching love story of an old woman and man in Iranian animator Azadeh Moezzis short Me, My Wife and Our Cow to the tale of a young man whose dream to play football is twisted by life in crime-ridden Iraq in Haider Rashids The Deep.
DIFFs Artistic Director, Masoud Amralla Al Ali commented, One of the Dubai International Film Festivals key objectives is inspiring audiences through fresh new talent and original, thought-provoking and distinctive filmmaking. Our collaboration with Naqsh Short Film Festival provides an opportunity to showcase some of the films audiences in Dubai loved to Bahraini filmgoers.
Mohammed Rashed Buali, Artistic Director, Naqsh Short Film Festival: The art of film is a universal language that promotes cross-cultural dialogue and greater understanding of the hopes and challenges different societies face. We highly value DIFFs support for Bahrains budding film scene and its invaluable contribution to the regions culture and arts community as a whole.
