The Dubai International Film Festival (DIFF) is a platform for showcasing excellence in Arab, Emirati, Asian and African cinema. DIFF will present films in two sections: the out of competition program and Muhr awards program.
The out of competition program categories are: Arabian nights; cinema for children, cinema of Asia-Africa; cinema of the world; Gulf voices; and celebration of Indian cinema. Films must have been produced after Sept. 1, 2012, and must not have been broadcast and/or made available to the public.
The Muhr awards program categories include feature films (fiction, minimum 60 minutes in length), documentary films, short films (maximum 59 minutes in length), Muhr Emirati awards (a feature, documentary or short), and the people’s choice award (all films are eligible).
Cash prizes up to US$50,000 will be awarded.
All films selected for the Muhr Arab Awards will be considered for the FIPRESCI awards in each category.
Candidates can submit their application forms here in Arabic and English. Applicants need to submit a DVD of the film or a private link to a screening. If the original version is not in English, the DVD or link must be subtitled in English.
The deadline for online submissions is Aug. 31.
