The Middle East International Film Festival (MEIFF) was established in 2007 and is presented annually in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, by the Abu Dhabi Authority for Culture and Heritage (ADACH). MEIFF seeks to affirm the key place Abu Dhabi holds as an emerging cultural center and to foster the growth of its local film community. The Festival celebrates cinema in all its forms by creating a vibrant forum for storytellers from the Middle East and around the world.
