In a celebration of culture, art, and cinema, Maison Valentino has partnered with the Abu Dhabi Investment Office (ADIO) to bring an exclusive four-night screening event to the UAE capital.

Held at the 421 Art Campus until the 16th of January, the Valentino Cinema event honours the legacy of iconic Italian filmmaker Federico Fellini.
The event, inspired by the creative vision of Valentino’s Artistic Director Alessandro Michele, pays homage to Rome’s eternal allure and its influence on cinema.
Maison Valentino’s Avant Les Débuts campaign, which draws upon the artistic spirit of the city and the genius of Fellini, sets the thematic stage for this unique collaboration.
Guests at Valentino Cinema will enjoy screenings of three of Fellini’s masterpieces, including La Dolce Vita (15th of January), and 8½ (16th of January). The exclusive experience will be complemented by live music and a special opening-night panel discussion. Moderated by Butheina Kazim, founder of Cinema Akil— the UAE’s first independent arthouse cinema—the panel will feature Emirati filmmakers Abdulla Al Kaabi, Sarah Alhashimi, and Omani multidisciplinary artist Chndy, who will discuss the cultural impact of Fellini’s work.
Kazim, a prominent figure in the UAE’s cinema landscape, has earned numerous accolades, including the Chevalier de l’Ordre des Arts et des Lettres title from the French Ministry of Culture. The panel promises to deliver an engaging dialogue that bridges Italian cinematic heritage with contemporary Middle Eastern creativity.
