From a discussion with Robert De Niro to a chance to catch up with global Oscar contenders, the Qatar film event offers something for everyone (even zombie lovers!)

The fourth annual Doha Tribeca Film Festival, held Nov. 17 to Nov. 24 in Qatar's capital, promises to take a giant leap forward this year. DTFF 2012 will showcase more than 87 films from across the globe under categories including an Arab Film Competition, Made in Qatar and Contemporary World Cinema. And thanks to a partnership between the Doha Film Institute and New York's Tribeca Enterprises, the fest's program will be even more diverse, with Hollywood titles like Ben Affleck's Argo screening alongside homegrown ones as part of the event's mandate to be "community centered."
