The Dubai Film Market
As part of its mandate of pioneering cinema initiatives in the region, Dubai International Film Festival (“DIFF”) is the first film festival in the Middle East to introduce a state of the art platform for the trade and distribution of films. The Dubai Film Market was established during the fifth edition of the festival in 2008.
The Dubai Film Market’s main aim is to bring industry people from all backgrounds & origins together to trade and distribute film content from the 4 corners of the globe. With a commitment to raising the visibility of World Cinema – particularly Arab, Asian and African – the Dubai Film Market also seeks to encourage the acquisition and distribution of films that are showcased at DIFF.
The Dubai Film Market introduced two channels to facilitate its objectives: Cinetech and the Market Lounge.
The Cinetech is a digital video library of more than 200 films, with facilities to screen films, leave comments for sales agents and request DVD screeners. It is designed to assist buyers, distributors and broadcasters in the screening process while allowing them to maximize their time.
The main objective of the Market Lounge is to encourage networking between industry professionals. The Dubai Film Market staff helps industry professional in browsing through the attendance and suggesting business matchmaking meetings.
