Dubai International Film Festival (DIFF) has announced that its Enjaaz programme has supported a total of 17 films at the festivals 11th edition.
Enjaaz is the Festivals production and post-production support arm, part of the Dubai Film Market (DFM), which was launched in 2007 to support the burgeoning cinema industry in the Arab world. Films which have received the sought-after support come from across the region, and are:
The Sleeping Tree by Mohammed Rashed Buali; Coffee for all Nations by Wafa Jamil; Nearby Sky by Nujoom Al Ghanem; The Council by Yahya Alabdallah; Diaries of a Flying dog by Bassem Fayad; In this Land Lay Graves of Mine by Reine Mitri; The Sea is Behind by Hicham Lasr; Im Dead by Yacine Mohamed Benelhadj; A Long Night by Kamiran Betasi; Roshmia by Salim Abu Jabal; Bus 321 by Hussain Ali A. Almotlaq; Dolphins by Waleed Al Shehhi; Central Market by Saleh Nass; Bad Hunter by Sahim Omar Kalifa; I Am Nujoom age 10 and Divorced by Khadija Al-Salami; A Letter to the King by Hisham Zaman; and Sara 2014 by Khalil Al Mozayen.
Masoud Amralla Al Ali, DIFF Artistic Director, said: DIFF and Enjaaz are proud to support the regions talented filmmakers. One of the major problems with producing great works of cinematic excellence is a lack of financial backing and industry support and programmes like Enjaaz can help complete films that may otherwise have not gained exposure. We are delighted to see so many of the works we have backed go on to win international awards and wide acclaim.
