Laser Subtitling Division

Gulf Film operates the largest laser subtitling laboratory in the Middle East. Inaugurated in 2003, the multimillion dollar lab utilises the latest technologies in Laser Etching Machines, which are fitted with electromagnet gates that ensure top speed and reliability.

While subtitles produced are mainly in Arabic, French and English, other foreign language films can be handled, such as Persian, Italian, Spanish, German, Portuguese, Chinese, Korean, Filipino, and even Khoxa.

Publishing

Reinforcing our commitment to provide entertainment to the region, Gulf Film conceived and developed a monthly entertainment publication – the Grand Cinemas Movie Guide - in 2003. With an in-house editorial and design team, the publication offers a targeted medium for promotions of movie campaigns, and has steadily risen to become an unparalleled movie handbook in the UAE. The entertainment glossy is strategically distributed across all Grand Cinemas multiplexes, major retail outlets and residential communities, with an active print run of 30,000 each month and a database of over 10,000 readers.

Grand Cinemas’ digital medium comes in the form of grandcinemas.com, a comprehensive website that boasts over a million hits per month. Serving both the UAE and Jordan, grandcinemas.com provides current showtime listings and the latest movie information, in addition to a subscription based weekly newsletter.

On January 21st, 2007, Gulf Film proudly announced the arrival of the Grand Cinemas E/Ticket, in association with Visa and supported by our official media partners 7DAYS and Arabian Radio Network. For the first time in the UAE, moviegoers have the option to book and buy their movie tickets online. Accessible at www.grandcinemas.com/eticket and soon to be followed by a kiosk network, E/Ticket was launched as part of the MyGC Club loyalty programme which offers members exclusive rewards and discounts.
