Freida to Attend Abu Dhabi Film Festival Today!

As reported earlier, Freida Pinto is set to attend the Middle Eastern premiere of Miral later today! The screening will take place at the Abu Dhabi Film Festival, where she will walk the red carpet with director Julian Schnabel and writer Rula Jebreal. Below is a tidbit from an article by Emirates247.com.

The schedule features two Middle Eastern premieres. “Miral”, the new film by Julian Schnabel (of “The Diving Bell and the Butterfly” fame), is a sweeping multigenerational saga about four women living under the Israeli occupation of Palestine, a layered narrative that revolves around the Dar Al-Tifel Institute, the orphanage for street children set up by Hind Husseini in the Jerusalem of 1948.

The film’s star Freida Pinto attends the 6.30pm screening at Emirates Palace along with Julian Schnabel and the journalist Rula Jebreal, on whose semi-autobiographical novel the film is based.
