I wonder Genesis if that isn't because the Abu Dhabi Film Festival seems to have got the monopoly on the Gulf Cinema.
Heavens, there was even a few Qatari film makers presenting films in Abu Dhabi, but they have been totally ignored here in Qatar.
Makes you wonder....
Personally I think DFI is just an opportunity to have some parties and pat one another on the back. The actual film making component is non existent.
And if DFI thinks it is fostering a culture of film appreciation amongst Qataris, it is pretty obvious that after year 3 they are still failing miserably with this.
