ABU DHABI, United Arab Emirates--(BUSINESS WIRE) - Oct. 01, 2008-- The second edition of the Middle East International Film Festival (MEIFF), organised by the Abu Dhabi Authority for Culture and Heritage (ADACH) announced today the selection of films to be shown in the "Festival of Festivals" and the "Environmental" programmes. They are considered by many to be the most exciting programmes taking place during MEIFF to be held in Abu Dhabi from 10th to 19th October 2008.

"This initiative is important in that it brings to the local community internationally renowned films. Of course, not everyone can attend all the world's film festivals to watch these films; but, at MEIFF, we believe that borders are no longer boundaries, and so we introduced the "Festival of Festivals" to enable cinema lovers to fulfil their passion in catching up with what they missed," said MEIFF Vice Chairman Mohamed Khalaf Al Mazrouei.

Over half of the 24 narrative films and documentaries to be screened in "Festival of Festivals" have won or were nominated for awards in the past year at film festivals in France, Germany, Spain, Sweden, Mexico and the USA.
