Khalid Khouri, Head of twofour54 creative lab said: At twofour54 creative lab, we are constantly working to encourage and inspire our talented youth and we offer support to make their dreams come true. This competition not only serves that purpose in encouraging aspiring filmmakers to take part in a local cinematic experience, but it also helps bring awareness to social issues that exist in all communities.
twofour54 creative lab, which nurtures budding media professionals through funding and enabling work facilities, will supervise the competition and will also head the selection of submissions and winners of the competition.
The competition will help raise awareness around social issues in an innovative cinematic style and give creative young Emiratis an opportunity to showcase their work and the chance to contribute to both the social and cinematic future.
The Family Development Foundation will mentor these innovators technically and artistically, and guide them in presenting their films in an interesting manner. The competitions films will also add to developing national art, which is what the Family Development Foundation seeks to strengthen.
