This year’s festival also features a lineup of short films from around the world, including ‘Further’ from US director Forrest Minchinton.
The Dubai Motorcycle Film Festival (DMFF) will return for its fifth edition on Saturday, December 13, 2025, once again transforming Warehouse Four in Al Quoz into a meeting point for filmmakers, riders and motorcycle enthusiasts from around the world. The annual festival celebrates the creativity and culture of motorcycling through a curated selection of films, documentaries and short features that attract audiences from across the globe.
This year’s edition showcases a diverse slate of short films, including Further by US director Forrest Minchinton, which offers a personal exploration of motorcycles, surfing and the connection that has shaped his life. Also featured is Hey Kid by Canadian director Daniel Stark, a reflective story that serves as a gentle message from the protagonist to his younger self about slowing down and following one’s own path. Indonesian director Jeremia Vega contributes Green Legacy, a visually rich film celebrating a love of two wheels and nature on the island of Bali.
DMFF Festival Director Ian Carless said: “What started as a passion project to give motorcycle culture a cinematic home in Dubai has evolved into a movement. Five years on, DMFF continues to attract filmmakers and riders from every corner of the world. This year’s line-up pushes even further – more stories, more emotion and more authenticity.”
The festival continues its longstanding partnership with Motofever, which returns as title sponsor for the 2025 edition. GetOutThereUAE is also continuing its support as a festival partner.
Ian Carless added: “Motofever has been our title sponsor since 2023 and the festival wouldn’t be possible without their unwavering commitment to the motorcycle community.”
Jasjiv Saluja, Founder of Motofever, stated: “Motofever is all about enabling riders to embrace the thrill of motorcycling. We’ve been a part of DMFF from the very beginning because it represents exactly what our community stands for – freedom, individuality, and storytelling through motion. region. We’re proud to see it enter its fifth year stronger than ever.”
George Aramouni, Founder, Get Out There UAE, commented: “Get Out There UAE exists to encourage people to experience life beyond the routine and that’s what DMFF is all about. It celebrates the open road, creativity, and community. Partnering with the festival each year reinforces our belief that adventure and art belong together.”
