التأسيس

تأسس مهرجان أبوظبي السينمائي (مهرجان الشرق الأوسط السينمائي الدولي سابقاً) عام 2007 بهدف المساعدة على إيجاد ثقافة سينمائية حيوية في أرجاء المنطقة. ويلتزم هذا الحدث الذي تقدمه هيئة أبوظبي للثقافة والتراث (ADACH) أكتوبر من كل عام تحت رعاية كريمة من معالي الشيخ سلطان بن طحنون آل نهيان، بتنسيق برامج استثنائية تجذب المجتمع المحلي وتسهم في تثقيفه كما تلهم صناع الأفلام وتغذي نمو صناعة السينما في المنطقة.

وإذ يلتزم المهرجان بإتاحة الفرصة لصناع الأفلام العرب للمشاركة بأعمالهم في المسابقات بشكل متكافئ مع أهم المخرجين في السينما العالمية، فإنه يقدم بذلك إلى الجماهير المتنوعة والمتحمسة لهذا الفن في أبوظبي وسيلة للتواصل مع ثقافاتهم وثقافات الآخرين. كما أن التركيز الفعال على الأصوات الجديدة الجريئة من السينما العربية يتصل في الوقت نفسه بدور أبوظبي المحوري كعاصمة ثقافية ناشئة في المنطقة، ويميز المهرجان بكونه المكان الذي يكتشف فيه العالم صناعة السينما العربية الحديثة ويجس نبضها.
