Today, we attended the last day for the amazing “Kuwait International Film Retreat” event at Hilton resort. We arrived there at 7:00 pm, there were workshop earlier for Screenwriting and Story Developement. but sadly I couldn’t attend them.

The Young Film Contest had also announced the winners for their contest, and I wanted to meet some of the young Kuwaiti directors and see how this will help take Kuwaiti cinema to the next level.

I liked how the organizers selected reputable judges to select the winners, there was also voting for the Directing & Filmmaking, Cinematography & Photography, and Editing & Sound for Cinema.

The results were announced by the distinguished TV presenter Barakat Al-Wegayan.

They also honored the actors that gave support to this event, and like we always do, we had the chance to meet the winner young Kuwaiti director, Dawood Shuail.

We wish congratulate the winners for the achievements, and wish them all the best !

We were cordially invited today to the awaited “Kuwait International Film Retreat” event at Hilton Mangaf. This is the first time we have something like a film festival in Kuwait where we have a red carpet and celebrities.

We arrived at 7:00 pm, luckily for us, the guests and celebrities were just starting to arrive.  It was really great to see and meet all those famous Arab stars and celebrities on the red carpet

Among the attended celebrities were Samir Ghanim (remember Batota ?), Nabila Obaid, Hayat Al-Fahad, Jasim Al-Nabhan, Mohammad Jaber, Maryam Al-Saleh, Abdulaziz Al-Mussalem,Hessa Al-Loghany, Zeina Karam, Yaqoub Abdullah, Mishary Al-Balam, and many others.

I believe this event will really help push Kuwaiti Cinema to the next level. There were many TV channels covering the event too, such as MBC, Al-Watan and many others.

Also many interviews were made with the attendees and they all agreed that the event is amazing.

There was this Indian man that looked like Mahatma Gandhi, don’t know who he is The guests then went inside the big tent where a classic Kuwaiti band was performing. Then they played the Egyptian recent film “Microphone”.

Later the guests had a romantic exquisite dinner. The Film Retreat event will continue for another todays, and tomorrow there will be the Kuwaiti Young Film contest at Al Kout mall.

There will also be three workshops for Film Production, Screenwriting and Story Developement, and Digital Cinema.

Today we got the chance to see the famous singer NE-YO at the Avenues mall at 4:30 PM. Frankly, I never knew NE-YO had all those fans in Kuwait, I never knew he was coming until I heard the shouting and fans screaming “NE-YO, NE-YO”

Apparently, he came in  Limo, which took him first to Al-Mayas restaurant at Al-Beda”a, then brought him to Avenues for his fans. What made me laugh is how guys were like “Huh !!” when they saw how girls would do anything to take a shot with him.

NE-YO was standing on the platform dancing and waving for the crowd, some were lucky to get his signature and take personal photos. Afterwards, they arranged a concert at Sahara club.

Here comes again the all crazy Lady Gaga, the craziness series continues as she has thrown her shoes at the crowd by the end of her Monster Ball tour in Paris. I hope no one was hurt but the fans seemed to love Gaga too much to fight for her shoe at her show

I even overheard that Gaga was seen walking almost naked at the streets of Paris a few days ago.
