Emirati Director Calls For Film Fund To Boost UAE Cinema

Speaking at the launch of a new partnership between her initiative The Scene Club and Roxy Cinemas, Al Khaja said that conversations with fellow industry professionals revealed a common feeling.

“We discussed this, that there should be some kind of government fund. It could be raised by cinema tickets, with a percentage of it going in a fund, and it could fund a few films a year,” she explained.

Al Khaja was commenting on the importance of generating support for the business side of the UAE’s film industry, which she believes will come in due course as momentum builds.
