"The original concept of the project was to source old Emirati films - mainly shorts - that could in the future help explain the first beginnings of filmmaking in the country. "You can look at Egypt as an example," says Yunis. "It has this amazing film industry and so much of it is lost. We don't want that to happen when there's no reason for it." But the film library and archives will also be extended to include UAE films that have played in local festivals, on television or theatrically, those that were made with local producers, such as Dubai-based Filmworks, and even those that saw financing come from the country. This means that alongside short films from the Emirates Film Competition and Gulf Film Festival will be titles such as Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol, The Help and even Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance. (Both The Help and Ghost Rider were produced by Image Nation, a company owned by Abu Dhabi Media, which also owns The National .)"
