"from more than 120 children's films we selected five wonderful stories from different parts of the globe that will engage emotions and bring delight to children and parents alike. Each one of these films tells the story of a child's personal quest or journey and carries a strong message, for example: how to ameliorate children and parents' relations, or how to be good and honest, or how to protect our earth and nature and fight for peace and harmony. I am confident that this year's films will not only entertain the younger audience, but will also broaden their imagination and give them lessons for life."
Alongside the screenings, DIFF will feature its second Animation workshop, to be run by The Animation House from Denmark.
It will be a three day workshop, during which each child will make a short animated film supervised by professional animators from Egypt, Denmark and Finland.
In addition, they will attend talks given by Mohammad Hareb (UAE), Jacques-Remy Girerd (France) and Bill Plympton (USA) on their techniques and personal experiences.
The fifth edition of the Dubai International Film Festival will run from December 11 to 18, 2008.
