Moviedom has launched the Indian Film Festival of Dubai, a three-day event built around cinema, music and influencers. The festival will also use web3 ticketing, according to Gulf News.
The available report does not provide the festival dates, venue, programme or ticket prices. It also does not name the films, musicians or influencers taking part. Those details will be needed before visitors can plan a screening or compare the event with other cinema activities in Dubai.
Cinema, Music and Influencers
The festival’s format goes beyond a standard film screening programme. Its three-day showcase is designed to bring cinema together with live music and influencer-led activity. The source does not say how those parts will be scheduled or whether they will run throughout the festival.
For context: a mixed programme can give visitors more than one reason to attend. Someone may come for a film and stay for the music, while another visitor may follow the event through its influencer content. The available reporting does not identify the intended audience or explain whether the programme is aimed at families, film fans or a wider entertainment crowd.
Moviedom’s launch also places the festival within Dubai’s busy events calendar. That is useful for readers looking for new activities, but the current information remains an announcement rather than a full visitor guide. There is no confirmed location, start time or booking link in the source material provided here.
Web3 Ticketing
Web3 ticketing is one of the event’s stated features. The report does not explain how the system will work, whether visitors will need a digital wallet, or whether conventional tickets will also be available.
That leaves a practical question for anyone considering the festival. Until the organisers publish more information, visitors cannot confirm the booking steps, payment options, ticket collection process or rules for transferring a ticket.
The digital ticketing plan may become part of the festival’s identity, rather than a small technical detail. For now, however, the useful fact is simply that Moviedom plans to use web3 ticketing. The source does not provide enough information to explain the technology or its effect on the visitor experience.
What the Sources Do Not Confirm
The wider source cluster includes reports about filmmaker Kaouther Ben Hania joining the 2026 Venice Film Festival jury and Hend Sabry joining the Amman International Film Festival jury. Those are separate festival appointments and do not provide additional details about the Indian Film Festival of Dubai.
The available source says Ben Hania is a Tunisian filmmaker and links her Venice appointment to a Silver Lion success. It does not identify the film that won the Silver Lion or the category. It also does not give the 2026 Venice festival dates, the date when winners will be announced, or the names of the other jury members.
The source does state that the Venice jury will decide awards for best film, actors, director and screenplay. It identifies Ben Hania as a jury member, but does not set out a more specific responsibility for her. These details are not part of the Dubai festival announcement and cannot fill the gaps around Moviedom’s event.
For readers, the next useful update will be the practical one: when and where the festival will take place, what will be screened, and how tickets can be bought. Until then, the confirmed outline is a three-day Dubai showcase combining Indian cinema, music, influencers and web3 ticketing.
