The film set off protests at Cannes where it was screened earlier this year.<\/p>\n<p>Other highlights include <strong>Julian Schnabel&#8217;s &#8220;Miral&#8221;, starring Freida Pinto<\/strong>, Stephen Frears&#8217;s &#8220;Tamara Drewe&#8221;, starring Gemma Arterton, Iranian director Abbas Kiarostami&#8217;s &#8220;Certified Copy&#8221; and Randall Wallace&#8217;s &#8220;Secretariat&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Doha<\/strong>, which has been named the Arab Capital of Culture for 2010 by UNESCO, launched the film festival last year in conjunction with New York&#8217;s Tribeca Film Festival founded by American actor Robert De Niro.<\/p>\n<p>Created as a way to rejuvenate lower Manhattan after the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks which destroyed the World Trade Center, the Tribeca Film Festival in New York has become a showcase for international films with a political edge.<\/p>\n<p>Organizers said the Doha event aims to do the same, using the festival as a platform on which to shine a spotlight on Arab cinema. It will give away $400,000 in prize money for its Arab Film Competition.<\/p>\n<p>The five-day event will close with Justin Chadwick&#8217;s &#8220;The First Grader&#8221;, a story about an elderly
