"In Oblivion Island: Haruka and the Magic Mirror there's a beautiful message about the value of our memories, told in a story that starts when 16-year-old Haruka spots a fox spirit and follows him to Oblivion Island, a repository of random, strange lost items." (Myrna Maakaron, DIFF Cinema for Children Section Programmer)

Since its first edition in 2004, DIFF has established itself as an important cultural event in Dubai and the UAE, with the purpose of celebrating excellence in cinema, using it as a medium to promote open dialogue between cultures and nations.

Screening schedule:
Date: December 16, 2010 (Thu)
Time: 16:00
