The event hosts hands-on workshops focusing on various aspects of filmmaking. Those taking part will be able to create handmade VR binoculars using stencilled, folded paper. Through a guided session, participants can also produce their own short films by going through a process of storyboarding, role allocation, as well as scene and stage setting. At the end of the workshops, the films are exported and stored for later use.
A series of masterclasses take place through one-off sessions featuring seasoned industry experts, who will hold discussions for amateurs, expert filmmakers and enthusiasts.
In addition, industry conversations with members of the local and regional film scene share their experiences through masterclasses and discuss the use of the country’s landscapes as a location for international films; film distribution; and how to enrich the UAE's existing film scene.
