DUBAI FILM PARTY is a franchise of a Special Award Film Party Event that first took place in Moscow and now has its own release in Dubai.

Film screenings are alternated with their author brief interviews and live music. That's quite a fresh format of interaction and a nice possibility for cinematographers to present their works.

Foreign cinematographers from all over the world are invited to present their films at the Party. Each of them is interviewed. The musicians whose music videos have been preselected for the Contest are also invited to attend the Event and to present their music to the audience in a LIVE-mode. The atmosphere of the Party is always cheerful and friendly.
