The third Middle East International Film Festival drew to a close last night with actors and film makers hailing the event as a success.
On the red carpet, the British actor Orlando Bloom said he was looking into film production in the region. The actor, who has starred in such films as Pirates of the Caribbean and the Lord of the Rings trilogy, said Abu Dhabi was now considered by the international film community as a new source of funding.
“I have been in a couple of meetings with some people here about my production company, which I’ve been running for a couple of years,” he said. “There are so many opportunities here.”

Palestinian, Russian directed films win top Mideast prizes
ABU DHABI — Films directed by a Palestinian and a Russian claimed the two most lucrative prizes on Saturday as the final curtain fell on Abu Dhabi's Middle East International Film Festival.
Palestinian director Elia Suleiman's "The Time That Remains," about the emotional and humorous lives of Israeli Arabs in Nazareth, the director's home town, won a "Black Pearl Award" for best Middle Eastern film.
"The Arab public has changed a lot since my first film," Suleiman said after accepting the award from Hollywood star Orlando Bloom, referring to her 1996 movie "Chronicle of a Disappearance."
"It accepts the humour in my films and the younger generation is less influenced by ideologies and want more freedom and democracy," she told AFP.
The award featured 100,000 dollars' in prize money, an amount equalled by that for best overall film, which was won by "Hipsters" directed by Russia's Valery Todorovsky.
"Hipsters" portrays the lives of Soviet-era youths who embraced American music as a means of their struggle against the totalitarian regime of the now defunct USSR.
Eighteen films had been entered to compete in the Middle East International Film Festival featured. The jury was chaired by Iranian director Abbas Kiarostami.
Total prize money at the festival was one million dollars.
Most of the films included in the feature-length documentaries will be the first such time they are screened either in the Middle East or globally. |
