The film and television industries of Israel and the United Arab Emirates capital of Abu Dhabi unveiled a historic agreement on Monday that will see the two Middle Eastern regions cooperate on training, co-productions, and a joint film festival.

The goodwill agreement between the Abu Dhabi Film Commission (ADFC), the Israel Film Fund (IFF), and the Jerusalem Sam Spiegel Film & Television School (JSFS), follows the normalizing of relations between Israel and the UAE, long-time adversaries, earlier this month.

The U.S. government helped broker the agreement between Israel and the United Arab Emirates, as well as a similar normalization deal between Israel and Bahrain.

Henry Golding responds to accusations of “casual racism” in Guy Ritchie’s ‘The Gentlemen’

The Gentlemen.The actor appeared in the Guy Ritchie gangster movie alongside the likes of Matthew McConaughey and Hugh Grant, taking on the role of Dry Eye.However, the film was accused of racism, particularly in one line voiced by Grant’s character Fletcher in which he puts on a faux-Chinese accent.However, Golding has defended the film, telling NME: “If you think gangsters aren’t going to be racist and go down to the lowest derogatory terminologies, I don’t know what kind of world you live in.“In this day and age of being PC, do you think that restricts art or creation? Because we have to pander to people who perhaps don’t want racist words to be on screen or projected from someone’s mouth; but in reality it’s what happens.
