They’ve put it beautifully in the quote above from the Original Narrative website. From 21 to 24 February, give the Nolan reruns a break, and enjoy craftily created student short films at the American University of Dubai at the Student Short Film Festival, Original Narrative, celebrating the spirit of “trial and error.”

Open to the public, with film screenings, workshops, mystery challenges and more the AUD campus beckons to artists, writers, film makers, film enthusiasts and aesthetes alike. There are a variety of categories to feed your entertainment appetite: Documentary, Fiction, Animation & Screenplay.
