One Minute History

Last night even more history was made in Doha with the premiere of the Qatari nationals first ever films. The films were one minute each and were screened for over 100 people at the W Hotel.
The turn out was amazing as well as the first time work done by the "young" filmmakers.
A story ran on the front page (AND 3rd page) of 'The Peninsula' today. It can be viewed online here and page 3 here.

Videos of the workshops along with teasers and more can be viewed here.

An email from Executive Director Amanda Palmer opened with this:

"In the words of the ecstatic Minister of Culture last night... 'This is just the beginning'..."

That quote could not be more accurate.
