Dubai International Film Festival is set to honour Indian composer AR Rahman with its Lifetime Achievement Award. At 45, Rahman will be the youngest recipient of this prestigious award. Rahman is the winner of two Grammy Awards as well as two Academy Awards. His work for Slumdog Millionaire won two Academy Awards for Best Original Music Score and Best Original Song.

'Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol' is set to premiere in Dubai at the city's international film festival. MI4 will be the first film screened at the event. The film's cast includes Tom Cruise, Jeremy Renner and Paula Patton. The movie is sure to be a hit in the Emirates, as one of the movie's action sequences was filmed at Dubai's Burj Khalifa tower.


The Dubai International Film Festival (DIFF) has partnered with Picturehouse, a dedicated art house theatre which recently opened in Dubai’s Reel Cinemas, to bring in more Arabic films to the UAE’s box offices, The National has reported. DIFF will bring to the big screen over the next year, between six and eight films that have been part of the film festival but have not been picked up by commercial distributors.
