Website launches film festival allowing talented UAE residents to showcase their creative endeavours
PUTITON.COM, THE FIRST online portal enabling artists from four artistic disciplines to display their talents and gain worldwide exposure, has announced the kick-off of its first annual film festival, The PutItOn Picture Show.
The film festival, which is co-sponsored by the New York Film Academy, is open for entries until November 26 and will allow UAE artists to compete alongside artists from around the world.
The festival marries PutItOn.com’s unique web-based platform with the spirit of creativity fostered in a film competition.
At the invitation of the Abu Dhabi Authority for Culture & Heritage (ADACH), the New York Film Academy started offering film and acting programs at the Abu Dhabi Film School in 2008. This project was established in line with ADACH’s Director General, Mohamed Khalaf Al Mazrouei’s vision of establishing Abu Dhabi as an educational centre for the nascent film industry in the United Arab Emirates and in the wider Middle East. PutItOn.com’s partnership with the New York Film Academy will further strengthen endeavours to support the aspirations of artists from the UAE and the Middle East region.
“We are excited to launch The PutItOn Picture Show in partnership with the New York Film Academy,” said Max Fraser, British co-founder of PutItOn.com.
“This festival is an important part of our vision for creating a grassroots path for emerging artists around the world to take their work from the ‘garage’ to the global marketplace. PutItOn.com’s web platform was designed by artists for artists and it is intended to help foster the next generation of creative leaders.”
PutItOn.com is accessible in 10 languages, including Arabic, and offers users 1 free GB of virtual storage space, no transaction charges when purchasing or selling work, online chat and the ability to live stream audio and video.
A cutting-edge mobile application will be available across five platforms in the early part of August.
