As an official Hospitality Partner, W Doha will host a series of special events surrounding DTFF's exciting inaugural programme .
Inspired by DTFF's passion for arts and community, W Doha is debuting two new signature cocktails. All Access was created exclusively by the three-star Michelin Chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten (the Chef behind W Doha's concept restaurants - Market by Jean-Georges and Spice Market). TriBerry is the non-alcoholic cocktail shaken, not stirred, by the hotel's B&F team.
The Doha Tribeca Film Festival was formed through a strategic partnership by Her Excellency Sheikha Al Mayassa bint Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani and CEO Abdulla Al Najjar of the Qatar Museums Authority and the Tribeca Film Festival Founders, Jane Rosenthal, Craig Hatkoff, and Robert De Niro. The arrangement was spearheaded by DTFF Executive Director Amanda Palmer. Uniquely Qatari in its identity, the Festival is modelled on the success of Tribeca Film Festival's dedication to engage the local community and promote filmmaking talent. In its inaugural year, Doha's first international film festival will celebrate the best of Arabic and international cinema. Its ongoing aim will be to inspire, engage and educate a new generation of cinema appreciation locally; discover, mentor and fund regional filmmaking talent; foster a community through art and entertainment; and encourage open discussion and debate.
Safak Guvenc, W Doha General Manager, said of W's partnership with DTFF, "W has a passion for art and innovation which matches that of the Doha Tribeca Film Festival. The W brand is all about cultural partnerships and DTFF is a perfect fit for us. The Festival brings people together to appreciate culture, heritage and arts, and W Doha is honoured to be a part of it."
