Great Big Story partners with Museum of the Future

Great Big Story has partnered with the Museum of the Future to produce five short films that show Dubai as a city that is embracing technology as a means to a more sustainable future.

The first film in the series, Saving The Desert Unicorn, looks at how over the last 25 years the Arabian Oryx has been brought back from the brink of extinction, to thriving in their natural habitat. The conservation team has been so successful in their challenge that they’ll soon be able to stop supplementing their food supply, as the Oryx will be able to fully support themselves and be true natives to their surroundings once again.

Other films in the series include how robots are making deliveries to residents and businesses, and how vertically farmed foods are being used by Emirates airlines in their in-flight meals. The series will include five examples of how Dubai is at the forefront of technological advancement, as they work toward creating a better future for all humanity.

The Museum of the Future opened in 2022, but the idea first came to life in 2014. It was created to showcase how Dubai is working towards a more sustainable and optimistic future, and its building is a futuristic marvel in itself. The facade is made out of stainless steel and consists of 1,024 pieces manufactured by a specialised robot-assisted process; covering a total surface area of 17,600 square metres.
