Launched in 2004 as a top-tier exhibition platform for Arabic-language film and international cinema,
DIFF has undergone a number of changes over the years that have made it a significant player in the region's film industry.
DIFF organising committee announced the adoption of a new strategy that will further boost the event's status as one of the world's leading film festivals.
