📍 Al Qouz Ind.first - Al Quoz, Dubai
Independent cinema in Alserkal Avenue showcasing art house films, Palestinian cinema, and family-friendly movies in an intimate setting.
Small anti-Hollywood cinema in the heart of Dubai cultural life. Fantastic programmations. Currently the event of the year not to miss. A series of Palestinian movies everyone need to watch. I started with The Clown Of Gaza. The heartbreaking story of the real life of a wonderful human being…A MUST!

“What a lovely experience, it was so nice to have experienced a film here it was such the ideal spot for movie lovers. They had popcorn nachos and so much other options. The theatre itself was sooooo nice, but the couches were a bit uncomfortable, the screen and sound system were great tho. Overall great experience.”

“Cozy art house cinema. Good to have this in Dubai. The snacks are great too. Beware that, unlike virtually every other cinema, the movie may actually start exactly at the announced time! 🙂”

“Amazing place with a chance of watching old movies on the big screen. One small detail; the sofa's frame was hard, it wasn't a comfortable seat. But I can change seat! Another small thing; parking is a nightmare.”
