Thirty-seven projects by first-and-second-time filmmakers from around the globe and well-known names from the Arab world have been selected by the Doha Film Institute (DFI) for its Spring 2019 Grants cycle. The grants aim to help a new generation of creative talents and support the development of original and compelling content.
Eighteen of the chosen projects are by female directors from the region, including a Qatari national. The announcement of the recipients of the 2019 Spring Grants cycle, which covers feature, documentary, short film, and TV and web series projects, was made on the sidelines of the 2019 Cannes Film Festival by DFI CEO Fatma Hassan Al Rumaihi.
