Sharjah 24: On the occasion of International Women's Day, Director of FUNN, Sheikha Jawaher bint Abdulla Al Qasimi made the following statement: "On this International Women's Day, I salute the creative women who have pioneered educational and professional fields and have mastered purposeful art."
She added that this comes through believing in their role in nurturing generations, preserving values, and promoting the spirit of partnership and cooperation between different societies and members of one society. Only more organisations that promote and foster women's skills are needed now in order to preserve the rich legacy of women's contributions to the arts.
She went on saying. "FUNN has been working for years to develop the talents of female creators and has provided them with inspiring experiences to know what women possess in terms of willpower and determination to create and succeed, and we can say on International Women's Day that the future will witness the launch of female innovators in the field of filmmaking."
