Dubai: The long-awaited launch of the inaugural Middle East International Film Festival may have been all glitz and glamour upstairs on the red carpet but downstairs it was a different story.

As Bollywood stars Irfan Khan, Dia Mirza, Shiney Ahuja and Konkona Sen Sharma trod the freshly-laid carpet at the impressive Emirates Palace Hotel, visitors, residents and guests had to struggle to even get close to the big screen.

The opening night of the Middle East International Film Festival (MEIFF) offered complimentary tickets for the opening gala screening of Bafta Award-winning director Joe Wright's Atonement starring Keira Knightley, followed by a party under the stars on the terrace.
