Market In Focus: Qatar’s Qumra Event Marks 10th Edition With Leos Carax, Toni Collette, Claire Denis, Atom Egoyan, Martín Hernández & Jim Sheridan
Running from March 1 to 6 in downtown Doha and the lofty surroundings of the city’s I. M. Pei-designed Museum of Islamic Art, the event will welcome the filmmakers and producers of 40 projects across all formats for six days of masterclasses, workshops and one-on-one mentoring sessions. Each Qumra Master gives a masterclass, moderated by Richard Peña, Professor of Professional Practice at the Columbia University School of the Arts and former program director of film at Lincoln Center, and also mentors a handful of the attendees. This year’s edition falls amid a intense period for the DFI which has just overseen the premiere of local feature documentary Ode To Our Land, about the legacy of late ruler Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani; the launch of its Made in Qatar competition as well as its annual Geekdom event and Intaj exhibition celebrating Arab cinema.
