FILM 2016

Art Dubai Film is a programme of video and film by and about artists. Besides artists’ video shown in the gallery booths, our not-for-profit programme includes a cinema space at the fair each March, featuring programmes created by guest curators and collaborators.

In 2016, Art Dubai Cinema presented a selection of artists’ films submitted by Art Dubai 2016 participating galleries.

Art Dubai Cinema’s 2016 programming was part of Moving Images, a partnership between Dubai International Film Festival, Sharjah Art Foundation and Art Dubai, dedicated to artists’ films and filmmakers’ art in the Arab world.
