Scorsese and Nair at the Inaugural Doha Tribeca Film Festival

“Amelia” director Mira Nair and Martin Scorsese in Doha, Qatar on a very warm but breezy Thursday afternoon during a welcome lunch for filmmakers, press and invited guests for the first Doha Tribeca Film Festival, which opens tonight with Nair’s latest. “Like Amelia, I too come from a small town and grew up hoping to impact the world, but for me through cinema,” said the Indian-born director who went on to call for more diverse stories. “If we don’t make our own stories, nobody else will.”
