"Film festivals have sprung up in the Gulf Arab region in recent years with events in Abu Dhabi and Dubai in the United Arab Emirates. The latest, Robert De Niro's Doha Tribeca, just ended a four-day run in Qatar's capital. But despite the heightened exposure, Arab filmmakers say the focus is still on Hollywood and European films with little attention -- or funding -- given to homegrown films." Yahoo! (Reuters) 11/02/09
