A couple of years ago, cinema as an art in the UAE
was barely talked about and not many Emiratis were
getting into this field because they thought it had no
future. But nowadays the study of filmmaking and
cinema is one of the most appealing fields of study
to young men and women. Desert Dawn tries to shed
some light on the career path of some budding
Emirati filmmakers and reads into the future of the
Emirati cinema.
Two Emirati filmmakers, Abdilhaleem Qayed and
Hani Alshaibani talk about their careers and their
dreams. The young directors are passionate about
their work and eagerly waiting for the say to come
where their movies are going to be shown in local
and international cinemas.
