DIFF has positioned itself as one of the world’s premier showcases for discovering state-of-the-art Arab filmmaking, while it continues to the show a wide selection of international films to its local audiences.

We hope that our festival can serve to facilitate a constructive global discourse on important world issues, using the medium of film.”

“DIFF is an event that incorporates the entire city, from local artists to local businesses. Dubai is not only the commercial and leisure capital of the region, but also a beacon for change and progress in the Middle East. Nothing demonstrates our hopes for dialogue and cross-cultural interaction like DIFF.”
