By IndiaFM News Bureau, November 22, 2006 - 10:49 IST
The Dubai International Film Festival (DIFF) today announced that this year's festival will honour Shah Rukh Khan, Oliver Stone and Nabil El-Maleh for their outstanding contribution to cinema, as part of the DIFF Salutes programme.
DIFF Salutes is a retrospective tribute that celebrates the work of distinguished film makers from Asia, the Arab world and Hollywood. This follows last year's In the Spotlight segment, which honoured Oscar-winning American actor Morgan Freeman, the Egyptian "king of comedy" Adel Imam, and Indian producer-director Yash Chopra.
Abdulhamid Juma, Chairman of DIFF said: "Within three years, DIFF has come a long way in capturing the attention, participation and awareness of the regional and international film industry. The presence of these legends will confirm the festival as a forum that celebrates milestone cinema. Retrospective screenings of their acclaimed work will provide further momentum to DIFF's objective of inspiring an emerging generation of film makers, who we think will take the industry to new levels of growth."
DIFF will pay tribute to the honourees during the Dubai International Film Festival 2006, which will run from 10-17 December at the Madinat Jumeirah.
