Korean Film Festival returns to UAE for ninth edition
This year's event is centered around the theme of music, highlighting how sound and storytelling combine to create powerful cinematic experiences. The Korean Film Festival is back for its ninth edition, with screenings set to take place at Manarat Al Saadiyat in Abu Dhabi and the Mohammed Bin Rashid Library in Dubai. This year's festival places a spotlight on music, exploring how sound and storytelling come together to create emotionally powerful cinematic experiences. Alongside the curated selection of Korean films, audiences will also enjoy two special K-Movie OST (Original Soundtrack) live concerts, featuring reimagined music from some of South Korea's most iconic films. The festival's opening film is Bong Joon-ho's Parasite, the Oscar-winning Best Picture that follows a poor family as they cunningly embed themselves into the lives of a wealthy household. Other highlights include C'est Si Bon, a romantic drama set in the 1960s Seoul music scene; Secret: Untold Melody, a psychological thriller directed by Seo You-min; My Beautiful Girl, Mari, a coming-of-age animated fantasy; and Jaurim, The Wonderland, a documentary celebrating the legacy of South Korean rock band Jaurim, with a special Q&A session with the director in Abu Dhabi. Audiences will also see Dog Days, an ensemble film about human-dog relationships in Seoul, and A Tale of Two Sisters, a psychological horror steeped in Korean folklore. The festival will close with The Host, Bong Joon-ho's monster movie classic about a mutated creature that terrorizes Seoul. As part of the festival's emphasis on cultural exchange and regional collaboration, a special screening of six Arab Film Studio titles will take place on Saturday in Abu Dhabi. This segment, presented in partnership with the Creative Media Authority, includes Sound of Memories by Gargi Chakrabarti, The First Note by Laith AlRamahi, and I See a Woman by Laura Saab.

Dubai's Viral Chocolate Is Getting a New Flavor This Friday
Dubai's viral chocolate bar sensation is back — and this time, it's dropping a brand new flavor. FIX Dessert Chocolatier, the local brand behind the pistachio-stuffed chocolate bar that took over TikTok, will be unveiling its latest creation at a limited-time pop-up in Mall of the Emirates starting Friday, June 13. The new flavor is still under wraps, but fans can try it firsthand when doors open at 10AM. The pop-up will run until June 15, and if the brand's last launch is anything to go by, expect queues and sellouts. From viral TikTok fame to global cult following FIX made headlines last year when its pistachio-loaded chocolate bar exploded on social media, racking up over 56 million views and turning casual snackers into loyal fans overnight. Behind the brand is British-Egyptian founder Sarah Hamouda, who launched FIX in 2021 while pregnant and craving rich desserts. What began as a side project quickly turned into a booming chocolate business, now shipping out around 500 bars a day worldwide. Dubai dessert brand continues to expand Hamouda says it's more than just candy. 'We pour time, effort, and love into every bar. It's meant to be a full-on experience,' she said in an earlier interview. FIX's growth has been organic — from Dubai to Canada, Argentina, and beyond, fans have been sharing reaction videos and reviews online, building a strong global community around the brand. Read More: Fix Chocolate Teams Up with Dubai Crown Prince Fazza Mystery flavor expected to follow pistachio's success The new release comes on the heels of FIX's Kunafa-inspired bar, which received praise earlier this year. With high expectations, fans are hoping the next flavor will live up to — or even top — the pistachio original. Whether you're a returning customer or just curious about the hype, this weekend's launch is your chance to get a first bite of Dubai's next viral dessert.

SATIN opens summer pop-up at Kulture House Dubai, celebrating Brazilian elegance in the heart of Jumeirah
SATIN, the UAE-based luxury boutique that is dedicated to representing and championing a cohesive platform of curated clean Brazilian luxury fashion brands, is bringing the essence of Brazil to Dubai this summer. From May 12th until September 4th, SATIN offers a four-month Summer Pop-Up Launch at the significant Kulture House Dubai, a multidisciplinary space that brings together culture, art, food, and design from around the globe in Jumeirah, Dubai. Housed in a beautifully restored villa circa the 1980s, Kulture House Dubai was founded by Sheikha Jawaher bint Butti Al Maktoum. The Sheikha approached the project with a vision to create a welcoming and soulful shared space, influenced by her love and passion for the world's cultures. A celebration of aesthetics and identity, it is home to Moroccan doors, arches from Jaipur, tiles from Lisbon, African artisan elements, and numerous other design and art influences, resulting in a cultural and creative experience. This multicultural community, similar to SATIN, made this significant space ideal for SATIN's first physical concept and presence in the city. The pop-up will feature an exclusive curation of pieces from Brazil's most sought-after designers — flowing dresses, elegant resort wear, bold accessories, and sumptuous textiles, all curated to reveal the warmth, sophistication, and playful identity of Brazilian fashion. "This pop-up is not a store; it is a cultural encounter," says Renata Cavalcante, founder of SATIN. "It is a convergence of fashion, storytelling, and global inspiration. We wanted to ensure that all the details represented Brazilian elegance while enhancing the creative momentum that is distinctly Dubai. It is a celebration of summer, style, and connectedness." SATIN will have special activations all season long, including private styling sessions, collaborative events, and limited-edition capsule drops. The objective is to create a sensory journey that ties people to not only fashion but also emotion, culture, and memory. As SATIN continues to grow its e-commerce reach throughout the UAE and GCC, this pop-up represents a significant milestone in its development as a brand while launching an immersive, physical experience. Elegant. Exclusive. Brazilian. SATIN invites you to celebrate summer in Dubai with timeless pieces, captivating stories, and an appreciation for beauty from both Brazil and the UAE. The SATIN Summer Pop-Up will be open daily at Kulture House Dubai, Jumeirah, from May 12th to September 4th. For more details, visit the website .
