The Dubai International Film Festival (Diff) has formed a partnership with Tribeca Film Institute (TFI).
One developing project from this year’s Dubai Film Connection (DFC), the co-production market at Diff, will be selected to attend the 2017 TFI Network, an industry market hosted each year during the Tribeca Film Festival, which runs April 19 to 30, 2017.
The winning project will have the opportunity to connect with the many industry executives, financiers, producers and marketers that attend each year and can potentially support their developing project. The attending DFC project will be eligible for market awards at TFI Network, and its team will receive full filmmaker access to Network and the Tribeca Film Festival itself.
Part of Diff’s Dubai Film Market, the DFC launched in 2007 to raise the visibility of Arab filmmakers and stimulate the growth of film production originating from the Arab world. Since its inception, it has showcased more than 120 fiction and non-fiction film projects in development. The co-production market introduces Arab filmmakers to regional and international investors and organisations over three days of meetings during Diff and beyond.
