There\u2019s nothing better than spoiling yourself after a tough week – and with the constant grind in Dubai, it\u2019s well deserved.

the perfect outing for cinema lovers<\/h3>\n
<\/blockquote>\n

An experience you don\u2019t want to miss – Cinema Akil has paired up with filmmaker and curator Nezar Andary for an afternoon that brings together Dubai\u2019s cinephile community. The cultural igniter is widely recalled for his award-winning film \u2018Unlocking Doors of Cinema\u2019 from 2020. The session will be focused on diving into the depths of cinema\u2019s relationship with memory. Going into the concept that cinema is directly parallel to memory, often in a way that solidifies it in the mind even more strongly. If you\u2019re looking to learn more about the film industry as well as meet a community of like-minded movie lovers, this session is an essential visit. Occurring on Sunday, July 19, from 1pm to 4pm.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":42779,"featured_media":71876,"template":"","format":"standard","categories":[260,35],"yoast_head":"\nDubai Weekend
