Made in Qatar programme supported by Doha Film Institute (DFI) will showcase six films from up-and-coming filmmakers in Qatar during the Festival which runs from 11 – 17 April at Grand Cinema in Dubai’s Festival City.
Made in Qatar films will present audiences at the Festival with an opportunity to see Qatar through the eyes of its own people in a series of innovative and enlightening independent short films.
Masoud Amralla Al Ali, GFF Festival Director said: “We are consistently impressed with the quality of the submissions from Qatari filmmakers which is a great example of the burgeoning film industry in Qatar. These talented filmmakers are testament of programmes like Made in Qatar created by Doha Film Institute (DFI) who are dedicated to bringing these shorts onto a global stage. This year’s line-up films present a panorama of the country and its culture that will educate, inform and entertain audiences at GFF.”
Fatma Al Remaihi, Head of Programmes at DFI said the regional acceptance of ‘Made in Qatar’ films is a testament to the creativity and hard work of emerging talent from Qatar, committed to expressing their voices.
“We are incredibly proud of the films that have been selected to screen for regional audiences at GFF. They exemplify what can materialize when young filmmakers are given the tools, support and education to be able to bring their stories to life. The selected shorts will offer a glimpse into the imagination and creativity of Qatari youth who share a common goal to strengthen and promote the regional film industry.”
