Dubai International Film Festival

2004-Present
The Dubai International Film Festival launched in 2004 with its unique theme, Bridging Cultures. Meeting Minds using the powerful medium of film to serve as a platform for inter-cultural dialogue. DIFF is held under the Honorary Chairmanship of His Highness Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum, and a non-profit cultural event, presented and organized by the Dubai Technology and Media Free Zone Authority. Reflecting Dubai's cosmopolitan and multi-cultural character, the festival showcases a wide selection of features, shorts and documentaries from around the world. The festival also celebrates excellence in Arab and world cinema by screening a repertoire of critically-acclaimed and award winning films. 2006 saw the addition of the first competitive section in the festival, The Muhr Awards for Excellence in Arab Cinema, granting a purse of over AED 1 million in prize money to foster growth in local filmmaking and help elevate awareness of talent in the region. DIFF has grown exponentially since its inaugural year to reflect record breaking figures each year in registration, box office sales, films showcased from around the world and premieres for films within the program whether Gulf, Middle Eastern, International or World premieres. The number of international red carpet celebrities has also flourished and added another important component to the celebration of the festival.
