Create Production brings Vox Cinemas' sonic identity to life with Hans Zimmer
Create Production has joined forces with Majid Al Futtaim Entertainment to unveil Fall in Love with Film, Vox Cinemas' latest brand film that signals a new chapter for the region's premier cinema operator. The cinematic tribute, released in celebration of Vox Cinemas' 25th anniversary, is underscored by an original score and sonic identity created by legendary composer Hans Zimmer. The emotionally rich film is a love letter to the power of cinema, weaving together themes of love, community, and escapism. At its heart is the story of a young boy growing up with the cinema as his lifelong companion. The narrative is brought to life by Zimmer's evocative score, blending Hollywood-style orchestration with 90s nostalgia and Arabic musical elements. As part of Vox's broader 'experience-first' strategy to reconnect with audiences, Create Production oversaw the entire creative process, from script development to full-scale production across eight regional markets. The campaign produced more than 85 assets in a variety of languages, formats, and platforms, ranging from IMAX screens to social media reels. Create also led localisation efforts across four languages and dialects, ensuring cultural resonance throughout the region. Muhammad Ashraf, Senior Producer at Create Production, said: 'Working alongside the Vox Cinemas team to develop a film worthy of Hans Zimmer's signature sound was a true privilege. We set out to craft a narrative that celebrates Vox's magic and elevates the region's sonic identity.' The brand film is currently screening in Vox Cinemas across the Middle East, with additional distribution on digital platforms, social media, and out-of-home advertising. The custom sonic branding developed for the campaign will continue to roll out throughout 2025, becoming an integral part of the Vox experience—from cinema lobbies to customer service interactions. This project adds to Create Production's portfolio of landmark regional campaigns, continuing its track record of high-profile collaborations, including previous work with Zimmer and large-scale productions across the Middle East.

Sharjah allocates 644 mosques to avoid crowding during Eid Al Adha prayers
Sharjah Islamic Affairs (SIA) has announced the completion of its preparations to welcome worshippers for Eid Al-Adha prayers. The department has designated 644 mosques and prayer areas across the emirate's cities and suburbs, including 454 in Sharjah City and Al Hamriyah, 104 in the Central Region, and 86 in the Eastern Region. SIA affirmed that all Eid prayer sites are fully prepared, with comprehensive cleaning, preventive maintenance, carpeting, the installation of cooling and sound systems, and the organisation of outdoor areas to accommodate large numbers of worshippers and their families. The authority added that it is coordinating with the Sharjah Police General Command, Sharjah Municipality, and other relevant entities to ensure the safety and comfort of worshippers during the Eid prayers. In response to community requests, SIA has implemented several development projects to enhance the prayer environments at Al Dhaid Mosque, Al Zubair Mosque, and Al Burair Al Shamali Mosque. These enhancements included levelling the grounds and installing interlocking tiles to facilitate movement and improve comfort, especially for the elderly and people of determination. Additionally, SIA has designated several mosques and prayer areas for non-Arabic speakers, including those offering sermons in Urdu, Malayalam, Tamil, and English, and arranged live interpretation of the Eid sermon for the hearing-impaired at Imam Ahmad ibn Hanbal Mosque in the Al Jazat area. The department stated the Eid prayer timings as follows: Sharjah City and Al Hamriyah: 5:44 AM Al Dhaid and Al Bataeh: 5:42 AM Al Madam and Mleiha: 5:43 AM Eastern Region: 5:41 AM Abdullah Khalifa Ya'rouf Al Suwaidi, Chairman of SIA, noted that the department is organising a series of lessons and lectures in the emirate's mosques on the virtues of the first ten days of Dhul Hijjah, the rulings and conditions of sacrifice, and Eid traditions. These activities are part of SIA's awareness programme, aimed at enhancing religious knowledge among the emirate's diverse communities. The full list of mosques and prayer areas, along with the names of imams, can be accessed via this official link .
