It is our goal to help filmmakers overcome the difficulties they face in reaching wider audiences. For the third year in a row the Festival has expanded its spotlight on Arabic cinema. After the program Naguib Mahfouz: Man of Cinema in 2011 and the celebration of 50 years of Algerian cinema in 2012, we continue this year with the first films of Arab filmmakers whose cinematic debuts not only gave us a glimpse into their future careers, but have since become milestones in the history of Arab cinema. 32 DATE WINE Radwan El-Kashef, p. 15 DREAMS OF THE CITY Mohammad Malas, p. 15 LE GRAND VOYAGE Ismael Ferroukhi, p. 17 HALFAOUINE: BOY OF THE Terraces Merzak Allouache, p. 20 Mufida Tlatli, p. 23 Oday Rasheed, p. 24 Daoud Abdel Sayed, p. 24 Ziad Doueiri, p. 25 7th Abu Dhabi Film Festival | adff.ae Jahnu Barua, p. 15 Guru Dutt, p. 16 Ritwik Ghatak, p. 17 Mani Kaul, p. 19 M.S.

A film’s ability to tell us who we are, sometimes even decades after the movie’s release, makes it important. The timeless power of these wondrous films comes from their invocation of life and through the emotional truths they portray on the screen. Narrative, abstraction, speed, movement, stillness, life, wonder and death: all dazzlingly explored and expressed by the makers of these films in unforgettable moments, gestures, glances, reactions between the characters, light, shadow. Each film is revived for you to discover through the art and beauty of preserving and restoring cinema.

Since its early days cinema has always cared about children. Who did not shed a tear watching The Kid by Charlie Chaplin? Filmmakers are concerned about all kinds of children: children with loving parents, children lonely and abused, children obliged to find their own way to adulthood and happiness. These stories make us care more and better understand those young human beings in whose hands will rest the future of the world. Awards ADFF is delighted to have in its program a very important new award: The Child Protection Award created in partnership with the Ministry of the Interior with the aim of calling attention to those films that raise awareness about the situation of abused or neglected children or promote prevention measures in this regard.
