Since the foundation we have produced hundreds of graduates, each uniquely prepared to fill emerging opportunities in the creative industries throughout the region. Our course offerings have grown to include Animation and Multimedia and we're always examining new and exciting opportunities as they arise in the region. Their vision is "to enable the development of world class Arabic media and entertainment content". With this partnership, SAE Dubai will have strong support in the local area and industry.

The TCL Chinese Theatre in Hollywood has premiered some of the biggest films in cinema. On 14 August, its screen belonged to Karayr (Cave), the film that carried Razan Takash, our Head of Film at SAE University College Dubai, all the way there.

At the 22nd HollyShorts Film Festival, Razan was presented with the Rising Star Award. HollyShorts and the Consulate General of the UAE recognised her as a writer and producer, and honoured her work in genre world building and the Arab Futurism Movement.

Karayr's route to Hollywood started in Dubai. It won the Grand Prize at the first HollyShorts Dubai, which advanced it to the Academy Award-qualifying festival in Los Angeles.

Congratulations, Razan. You're proof to our students that the stories they want to tell can travel from a classroom in Dubai to a screen in Hollywood.
