Arab film makers are getting a cash injection to bring their projects to the silver screen. Over USD 80,000 (AED 293,000) has been awarded to six projects at this year’s Dubai Film Connection (DFC). Five Arab producers who’ve contributed, will also get the chance to take part in the Producers Network at the Cannes film festival. DFC, which is part of the Dubai Film Market, has already supported more than 270 projects and co-produced over a hundred films since 2007. Jamal Al Sharif, Chairman of the Dubai Film and TV Commission and Managing Director of Dubai Studio City, shares why projects of this kind are so important to film makers.
