Stories on a screen are still stories, and although visual rather than written, they have become part of the annual Abu Dhabi International Book Fair (ADIBF).
In one corner of its 31,962sqm exhibition space, a black pavilion stands out, displaying no books. This is the Black Box cinema, a project of Emirati filmmaker Nawaf Al Janahi.
"We have 18 great Arabic films screening this year," said Al Janahi.
Among them there are four Emirati short films, along with shorts from Lebanon, Qatar, Oman, Saudi Arabia, Palestine, Morocco, Tunisia, Egypt and Kuwait.
"We went to see Eye and Mermaid, a film from Saudi Arabia. It was really quite good," said Imthiaz Nair, an Indian resident in Abu Dhabi.
Where? When? The Abu Dhabi International Book Fair is being held at the Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre until May 3. |
