Dubai: Under the Arab Media Summit 2026, taking place from 15 to 17 September, the Dubai Films and Games Commission, part of the Dubai Media Council, will organise the Films Forum, bringing together leading figures from cinema, drama and music alongside directors, producers, experts and creative industry leaders from across the region and the world. A strategic platform within the Summit, the Forum advances Dubai’s vision for the film sector and the creative industries, convening talent, expertise and decision makers to read the fast moving shifts reshaping audiovisual content, and anchoring Dubai as a global destination for creative production and a magnet for talent and investment. Across its sessions, the Forum examines the transformation of Arab cinema and drama, the rise of joint production and streaming, the growing role of artificial intelligence, and the power of music and drama to shape cultural identity and carry Arab stories to wider global audiences. Samer Al Marzooqi, Film Commissioner at the Dubai Films and Games Commission, said: “The Films Forum brings the people who make cinema, drama and music into one room at a moment when the rules of production and distribution are being rewritten by streaming and AI.
