The Abu Dhabi Film Commission, the Israel Film Fund and Jerusalem’s Sam Spiegel Film & Television School on Monday announced a wide-ranging agreement with the stated goal of “promoting tolerance, education and developing a deeper cultural understanding between the Emirati and Israeli people,” they said in a statement.
In a separate but related development, it was announced last week that long-running Israeli soccer docu-reality series Goalstar, produced by ADD Content, will film its upcoming season in the United Arab Emirates, becoming the first Israeli television production shot in the UAE. Israel Film Fund executive director Lisa Shiloach-Uzrad in the statement called the agreement “a wonderful opportunity for collaboration through which we can learn, create and become closer to our neighbors in the Middle East.”
