THE REVIEW

Nahda Foundation, Kino Pod Baranami, Kino Światowid and The Asia and Pacific Museum present Poland’s fifth edition of Emirati Film Review, which will take place on 13-15 April 2022. The event is organised under the honorary patronage of the Embassy of the United Arab Emirates in Poland and in collaboration with Image Nation Abu Dhabi, Arab Film Studio and Emirati filmmakers. The United Arab Emirates are associated mainly with oil, rapid increase of investments in recent years skyscrapers of Dubai and Abu Dhabi or amazing man-made islands. It should be remembered, though, that this relatively small country of the Arabian Gulf – with less than 10 million citizens – is also an important center of Arab culture and young, emerging cinema. Its birth dates to the beginning of the 21st century. Emirati Film Review is a unique project which enables the Polish audience to learn about the developing cinema art in the UAE. It is also an opportunity to meet and talk to people directly involved in the process of creating movies in UAE. We hope this year’s edition will be as interesting as last year and will satisfy the most demanding audiences. Special guest: Nawaf Al Janahi, director: “Before We Forget”, “Sea Shadow”, “The Circle”.
