Happy 44th birthday to the UAE, our home and the other country that is in our hearts alongside Palestine. We take a look at how cinema started here in the UAE: Does anyone remember Al Nasr Cinema?? Thank you to those first movers in the film industry in the UAE who have brought us to today; to a more eclectic, alternative and diverse film scene! We feel blessed to be part of this movement.
