The Abu Dhabi Film Commission announced a collaboration agreement with the Israel Film Fund (IFF) and one of the state’s leading film schools on Monday that spans film and TV training and production. 

The announcement comes in the wake of a surge of collaboration agreements between the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and the Jewish state following last week’s signing of a historic normalization agreement. Economic and scientific collaborations announced so far span academic research, investment opportunities and a joint UAE-Israel bid on the Haifa port.
