Benefits of Accreditation at the Dubai Film Market:

Upon approval, your accreditation badge will allow you access to selected areas of the Dubai Film Market (i.e. Market Lounge or Market Lounge and Cinetech). This badge will also give you access to selected DIFF areas and events. It will also give you free access to festival screenings (limited number of tickets per day, and subject to seat availability), with the exception of gala screenings.

The accreditation is valid for the duration of DIFF (December 9-16, 2009); it must be clearly displayed and shown upon request to personnel in all areas of the Festival. Badges remain the property of DIFF and must be surrendered upon request.

If you are from the industry, you will have the opportunity to appear in the Industry Guide. By accepting this option during your online registration, you enable us to print out your professional information in the guide.

Incomplete records, or registrations made after November 1st, will not be included in any 2009 DIFF Industry Publications.

Once your registration form has been processed and approved, you will be informed by email. Registration badges will be available for all approved delegates at the Registration Centre located within Festival Headquarters at Madinat Jumeirah. The exact dates and timing for collection will be communicated to you once your application has been processed and approved.
