Christina Ricci, Matt Dillon, and Mandy Moore, all came down to DIFC, under the imposing Gate building to raise money for Aids Awareness as part of the Cinema Against Aids campaign. This year was Access All Areas’ 3rd year in a row working with the amfAR organisation to deliver this red carpet event.

The magnificent Gate building gave us an impressive backdrop and cover, so a minimalist approach was used to light the 400 guests, with custom made chandeliers, and moving fixtures to add ambience. Every year we are treated to a celebrity music interlude, and this year Ms Mandy Moore sang for the guests, with her pianist using our Kurzweil Digital Grand. Great for quick load ins, and no need for a tuner!

As usual Access All Areas designed the set, and our team delivered flawlessly, whilst also working on the other jobs as part of this years Dubai International Film Festival, the opening and closing parties! A busy few days!
