Cinema of the United Arab Emirates

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

West Asian cinema
Iranian New Wave

The Cinema of the United Arab Emirates is very small. There is only one Emirati film as of 2007, Al-Hilm, about a group of frustrated actors/directors wandering aimlessly in the desert. However there are a large number of short films from the country (the makers of which have been dubbed the 'Emerging Emiratis'). In addition the UAE is a popular filming location for Bollywood films.

The UAE has an annual film festival held in Dubai. A new film studio (Studio City) is been built in the city.
