More then just an event production company, Circo de Bakuza is a creative agency that designs and produces live experiences. Our vision goes far beyond creating just an event — we establish an experience and help brand it in order to create a platform from which clients like the DIFF can communicate its identity and create a lasting impression on all who partake. Our goal is to reinvent the festival experience and generate a rising tide of inspiration from the opening to closing ceremony. For the 5th Annual Dubai International Film Festival, we have created a series of events which are connected by an over-arching story. This narrative will blossom in the imagination of each guest as they join in a celebration of the multicultural collage of human excellence that is the foundation of the city of Dubai. The return on investment for these events is incalculable — how do you accurately measure feelings of awe, jubilation, unity and endless potential and promise? These feelings will be echoed around the world — not just by the hundreds of international journalists who will cover the events but also by the guests who will share, with pride, their experience in Dubai with friends and family. Everything that is presented to you is a custom creation developed specifically for the DIFF. What is presented is a creative collaboration between leading creators and producers from different origins and cultures. From its conception, STROBE takes the festival’s theme, “Bridging cultures, meeting minds”…to life.
