Hollywood actor Jake Gyllenhaal believes the UAE's film industry is gradually making its mark on the international arena. The Oscar nominee attended the last day of the 12th Dubai International Film Festival on Wednesday, where he took part in a Q and A session with fans. Gyllenhaal spoke with ARN, and says the film industry in the Emirates doesn’t necessarily need help from A-list celebrities, as it is becoming internationally established on its own.
