The feature length documentary Cultural Capital: Finding Art in Dubai examines the creative process in urban spaces and the socio-economic realities that challenge the sustainability of Dubai’s boom. The reality of a creative culture, like much of Dubai, is optimistic and still under construction.
The feature length-documentary Cultural Capital: Finding Art in Dubai has a new website! The trailer is being recut and will be uploaded shortly. The film was also featured on the Dubai Eye radio show Siobhan Live. We shared the day with a Michael Jackson tribute and coverage of the Venice Biennale, so we were in good company. Once the podcast is online, we’ll be sure to post it.
This is a work in progress and is without sound mixing, soundtrack, and the animated overlays that will combine with the live action in the final film, but it should give you a sense of the issues and the feel of the film.
