"Artistic flight"
Frankly, Al-Fili addressed the reasons for the majority of Emirati artistic works to diverge between heritage and comedy, unlike the Kuwaiti drama that succeeded in touching on many current social issues and putting them on the screen, considering that «the orientation towards heritage works today is considered a form of escape for some officials (the technical process) One of the obligations of putting various daily issues on the screen, even though art should be the true mirror of society that is supposed to reflect its issues and crises. ”
He continued: «In previous years, Emirati drama presented many purposeful and unforgettable works such as (Hayer Tayer) who touched on many issues in a bold, realistic and direct way, but today we suffer from the unwillingness of drama officials in local TV channels to address this quality From the works under the pretext of productive costs, and the taste of the Emirati audience, who always tends to heritage and comic works. ”
Regarding the dramatic race in Ramadan, Al-Faili described this as a failed experience for the audience, who finds himself lost today in front of more than 70 Ramadan series at the same time, thus resorting to digital platforms that gave him the opportunity to watch as desired, pointing to the physical dilemma of Ramadan drama in the first place, After all TV channels race to win the higher ad shares at the expense of the merchandise.

Global sharing

Al-Fili was also nominated to compete for the award for Best Actor in a Garden Role Festival in New Jersey, for his role in Backstage by Sachin Augustine.
Al-Fili revealed to "Emirates Today", "I have a new post in the movie behind the scenes director, which is supposed to be launched during this year, in addition to another cinematic participation in the (Itch) movie by Emirati director Fahd Al-Suwaidi, which was presented at Al Ain Film Festival, in The time I am still waiting for the movie (The Misfits) to be screened, alongside Pierce Brosnan, Tim Roth and some of the Hollywood stars. ”
Narrow mindedness
The artist Mansour Al-Faili stressed that the Emirati drama “suffers from the narrow horizons of some of those who produce it and their limited view of the Emirati actor, and their dependence on the Gulf actor, after that the local drama was, at one time, stronger than its Kuwaiti sister in terms of societal issues, but thanks to local TV channels , Gulf business has been supported and money has been provided to produce it and the Gulf representative is presented at the expense of the Emirati representative.
"The taste of the Emirati public always tends to heritage and comic works ... untrue words."
"The local drama in one period was stronger than her Kuwaiti sister."
