Dubai International Film Festival

“Celebrate excellence in cinema, using it as a medium to promote open dialogue between cultures and nations. To nurture and develop local and international talent, accelerating and fostering growth of the industry, while also providing an invaluable cultural benefit to the people of Dubai and the UAE.” - DIFF mission

Since its first edition in 2004, DIFF has established itself as an important cultural event in Dubai and the UAE. There has been a remarkable growth in the number of films presented and an increased interest in audience numbers. The festival has also seen a similar growth in the attendance of key international and regional filmmakers, industry professionals and members of the local, regional and international press.  Jumeirah’s participation being under the flagship of  “MADINAT JUMEIRAH’, HOME TO THE DUBAI INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL” has started the initial stages of creating Madinat Jumeirah exposure through press conferences, interviews with the stars, red carpet photography, print and film footage. 

“There is not a festival anywhere in the world that has the GIFT offered so openhandedly- Madinat Jumeirah provides the most magnificent and unique HOME,  making you feel welcomed and treasured”
