At DOXA, Documentary Film Festival 2009 in Vancouver, Canada.
Movie:
Director: Ineke Smits, The Netherlands, 2008, 72 minutes
In the heart of the Middle East, a modern city has rapidly become the tourism and high-end real estate development centre of the area.
Through the eyes of four photography students, we step through the glittering façade of a city that, despite its plush beachfront villas, ultra-luxe retail, and incredible artificial islands, might just be a mirage.
