Press review Dubai International Film Festival

After a wonderful time at Dubai International Film Festival and some time with Sinan's family I arrived back home in Berlin where it was snowing.
I'm so glad the festival appearance of the film turned out well. About the friendly response from the family I'm pretty much happy, too. At the second screening Sinan's brothers attended as well as the press attaché of the German consulate in Dubai. The family invited me for a traditional Arabic dinner (with smoking Shisha and everything) next to the biggest dancing fountain of the world to say good-bye. Thanks again.

Before you will find a video of the Middle East premier here on the blog I'll post some of the press responses:
