Thanks to streaming services like Netflix, Amazon prime video and Starzplay, watching movies at home is now easy as touching the TV’s remote control.
But there’s still nothing like seeing a film in the big screen and in the company of fellow viewers whether inside the cinema or an open field.
If you agree with us then you’ll be happy to know that there are cinema events taking place in Abu Dhabi for movie fans of all ages to enjoy.

We say that Cinema Space is an institution already when it comes to community film showings in the capital.
This cinema event is running screenings all year round regardless of the season and weather. We’ve seen it grow from strength to strength since its beginning from twofour54 to its current home at Manarat Al Saadiyat.
For the month of October, movie fans will be treated to restored classics like The Thief of Bagdad, La Isla Minima, Kwaidan, Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein and Psycho.
Free entry. Saadiyat Island. Various timings.
