Nine AS Media students accompanied by Ms Herron and Ms Murphy attended the Abu Dhabi Film Festival opening weekend in October. The avid film fans had the opportunity to go to gala performances and recent releases, spot stars on the red carpet at the Emirate's Palace Hotel, and attend talks with directors and actors including Adrien Brody and Clive Owen. It was exciting for students to experience the inner-workings of an industry that they may want to become part of. We hope that the trip can become an annual event.
