As the 12th edition of the Dubai International Film Festival (DIFF) drew to a close, Esquire Middle East teamed up with the exclusive social discovery network, ELEQT, to host one of the official gala parties.
Celebrating as only Esquire knows how, the ultra-stylish evening was held at the Vii Terrace & lounge followed by and after party in newly opened Vii club at the Conrad Hotel, which saw an exclusive guestlist of VIPs attending in order to celebrate the region’s finest film-makers.
Amongst the attendees were many local and international celebrities, movie directors and producers, including the jury members of the Dubai International Film Festival, ambassadors and even a few high-profile sportsmen — most of whom needed no encouragement to dance their way into the small hours of the morning.
