The K.O.A.T Theater is one of our outdoor Cinemas. It seats 1800 and was built just for the Festival.

The sunsets around 4:30 in Doha and the festival went till late. At night it was amazing to see the festival come alive in a series of beautifully orchestrated lights.
This was my hang out for most the day- the Doha Film Institute's tent. We had 3 different backdrops, a horror scene, desert scene and western scene for one minute movie to be made by families.
It was a huge hit.

One of my favorite moments of the festival occurred as the night started to wrap up and I sat back and took in the atmosphere. It was an enchanting scene with the colorful tents, the illuminating kite show, the feather banners waving in the breeze and the beautiful blend of people who had come and enjoyed the day. It had been a great challenge and my amazing team had pulled it off :)

Our biggest concern was that we had planned an amazing event, flying in talent from all over the world and it would go wasted if the community did not attend. To combat this our staff went to local malls, schools and mother's groups and advertised like crazy and boy did it pay off. We were rocking the whole day with an amazing mixture of local Qatari families as well as Expat families.
