The Sharjah Commerce and Tourism Development Authority (SCTDA) officials said that under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Dr Sultan bin Muhammad Al Qasimi, Member of the Supreme Council and Ruler of Sharjah, the festival will begin on February 5, and conclude on February 15. A spectacular media preview was held at the Sharjah Chamber of Commerce and Industry building.
"The festival will be held in 19 sites spread across the emirate, including Al Dhaid, Khor Fakkan and Dibba Al Hisn on the east coast, featuring creations of talented international and local artists, including students from the Sharjah University and American University of Sharjah," Khalid Jasim Al Midfa, chairman of the SCTDA, told Khaleej Times.
"The shows will produce stunning imageries that tell the story of Sharjah. This year, the theme of the festival is the festival itself as we are celebrating the 10th year," Al Midfa explained.
The festival will officially kick off with a show on Sharjah's architectural icon - the Sharjah City Municipality building. "The show will narrate the history of Arab culture and its impact on the past and present," said Al Midfa.
The festival will also include three interactive shows, two of them at Al Majaz Waterfront and one on the facade of the University City Hall, he added.
The interactive show at University City Hall will use a combination of video mapping technologies and augmented virtual reality to create an illusion of travelling around the world.
"These shows, which use a remote-control panel, will provide the public with the chance to be part of the experience by allowing them to change the features of the show, thereby, changing the atmosphere with each experience," said Al Midfa.
