About the Dubai Films and Games Commission
The Dubai Films and Games Commission was established in 2024 under the Dubai Media Council as the primary government entity responsible for advancing the film and gaming industries in the emirate. The Commission was formed pursuant to Law No. (29) of 2024 issued by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, which expanded the Council’s powers and responsibilities to implement strategies and plans for the advancement of Dubai’s media sector. As part of the Council’s expanded mandate, the Commission plays a key role in implementing strategies to reinforce the emirate’s position as a global hub for film, gaming, and digital content creation.
The Commission is responsible for developing regulatory frameworks that support the sustainable growth of the film and gaming industries, promote innovation and research, and strengthen their contribution to Dubai’s economy. Its remit also includes supporting local talent, attracting regional and international production companies, facilitating investment, and promoting Dubai-based films and games in international markets. In addition, the Commission works to strengthen these sectors by supporting industry platforms, promoting international engagement, and contributing to the development of policies that enhance long-term competitiveness and global reach.
