(The 90s saw DocFest, but it’s been a while.) If Durham, North Carolina can have a Full Frame and if Missoula, Montana can have a Big Sky, surely the greatest city on earth can have a five-day salute to non-fiction cinema.
At least that’s what artistic director Thom Powers and executive director Raphaela Neihausen reasoned when this programming pair decided to expand their weekly IFC Center series, Stranger Than Fiction, into a festival format.

Set in the largest sheikdom of the United Arab Emirates, the Abu Dhabi Film Festival enters its fourth edition October 14 to 23, 2010 as a self-appointed oasis of film culture in the Persian Gulf. The Festival, formerly called the Middle East International Film Festival, lists its name change among several innovations accelerating its push to become a mecca of discovery and pulse-taking for current Arab cinema.
