Film Making, Screening And Festivals
Doha, Liverpool and London
Throughout the Qatar-Uk 2013 Year of Culture, film screenings were held in Qatar celebrating the power of classic and contemporary films from the British canon.
The Doha Film Institute also created a series of opportunities to bring Arab and, more specifically, Qatari film-making talent to the UK.
As part of the Qatar-UK 2013 Year of Culture, the British Council also sent two young Qatari filmmakers, Maryam Al-Sahli and Hend Fakhroo to take part in the Birds Eye View Film Festival, a special celebration of Arab women filmmakers, held at London's British Film Institute.
Curated by the Doha Film Institute, the ‘Made in Qatar’ programme at the Liverpool Arab Art Festival in June 2013 showed emerging independent filmmaking talent in Qatar.
