Doha Tribeca Film Festival (DTFF) hosts the world premiere of Black Gold.
The Doha Tribeca Film Festival (Oct 25 - 29) is to open with Tarak Ben Ammar-produced epic Black Gold.
The production today announced that James Horner (Titanic, Avatar) has recently completed the score for the film, which is the Middle-East’s biggest-ever production.
Oscar-winner Horner composed the score at London’s Abbey Road Studios. It includes contributions from well-known Qatari vocalist Fahad Al Kubaisi.
Amanda Palmer, Executive Director of the DFI, said: “Showing Black Gold as the opening film will be a real celebration of a truly home-grown project that we hope captivates audiences around the Globe.”
