LIGHTS, CAMERA, ACTION! in Abu Dhabi

Picturesque scenery, diverse backdrops, and pristine weather makes Adu Dhabi the latest hot spot for filmmakers! Fast & Furious 7 exposed the beauty of Abu Dhabi, and the much anticipated upcoming Star Wars: Episode VII- The Force Awakens film also chose Abu Dhabi as their milieu.

And we can understand why! Abu Dhabi showcases a plethora of assorted landscapes perfect for the latest blockbusters to shoot their masterpieces. Whether your client is soaking up the sun on the sandy shores at Saadiyat Island or basking in the glory of the Arabian dessert, Abu Dhabi will spoil your client with choice.

ARAB FILM FESTIVAL
The 12th edition of the Arab Film Festival will be held this August in Sydney, Melbourne, and Canberra. Spanning over two weeks (13th-30th Aug), the film festival enables your client to be immersed in Arab film screenings.

The AFFA closes the cultural gap between Australian viewers and Arabic culture through cross-cultural exchange and film. The festival is community based and operated, allowing Australians to have reign over the processes that take place.

With the aim to uphold the connection between Arab communities and Australian communities alike, the AFFA facilitates the dynamism of both cultures through the neutrality of film. For further information on the Arab Film Festival visit: arabfilmfestival.com.au/

STAR WARS: EPISODE VII- THE FORCE AWAKENS 
The much anticipated upcoming Star Wars: Episode VII- The Force Awakens movie showcases the desolate yet beautiful landscape of the Abu Dhabi desert.

Abu Dhabi’s sandy landscape is being transformed in to the fictitious ‘Tatoonie’, the central planet in the Star Wars movies and home to Luke and Anakin Skywalker.

Rub al Khali, the largest sand desert in the world, has also been used as a striking backdrop in the upcoming Star Wars film.
