On Thursday, Berlin International Film Festival has been set off. It was the 61st anniversary of the festival. Many attendees were present in this festival. Four UAE-based filmmakers were also present in the occasion. They have been taken by the Abu Dhabi Film Commission (ADFC).

The four filmmakers are none other than Eva Star Sayre, the business director of Veritas Films; second one is a trio-the actor, director and producer Nawaf Al Janahi; Amina Dasmal, the producer and founder of

Alcove Entertainment; and Butheina Hamed Kazim, a business development manager at Dubai Media Incorporated. These four producers arrived at this event with their upcoming projects which are now at different stages of development.
