“The history has proven that culture can be much more efficient in bridging nations than deliberate political actions. For these reasons, cultural diplomacy plays an ever increasing role in our foreign policy. ”

“Novo Cinemas is very proud and excited to partner with European Film Screening (EFS) under the patronage of HE Sheikh Nahyan Bin Mubarak Al Nahyan Minister of Culture, Youth and Community Development.”

“The European Film Academy is very happy that it can help bringing European films to Abu Dhabi and Dubai. Films, as we all know, are the best ambassadors for understanding other cultures and mentalities. A film may take us on a journey to a completely unknown world but when we are leaving the cinema we feel safer and enriched --- because we have been very close to the film’s characters and discovered human beings like we all are and independently from where we may live. ”
