Abu Dhabi creates Middle East film division

Imagenation, a subsidiary of the recently launched Abu Dhabi Media Company, has created a division which will focus on developing film and digital content. Five to seven projects will be funded, and the aim is to introduce local creative talent to the international market.

In 2008, the Abu Dhabi Media Company closed a number of substantial financing deals which has seen the region become a hot topic of conversation in the industry.

Edward Borgerding, CEO of Imagenation Abu Dhabi and Abu Dhabi Media Company, siad: "There are so many untold stories in the Middle East that have the potential to transcend borders and cross over to the global market, thus to educate and entertain audiences throughout the world… it is our mission to help that potential unfold."
