02:10efficient vehicle and that process is so rigorous that for many of the teams
02:14competing getting the car on the track is a win on its own celebrating the 40th
02:20anniversary of shaliko martha means it's four decades of giving the change
02:25makers of tomorrow an opportunity to build the world's most energy efficient
02:29cars and to further their stem education and for the students it is a constant
02:34way of learning they apply their knowledge their ingenuity their
02:38creativity to an amazing project that is part of their curriculum as a team the
02:44aspiring engineers decide between two main vehicle models to build giving them
02:48plenty of opportunities to innovate and be creative so in shaliko marathon if you
02:54want to participate you have to pick a category that could be urban concept which
02:59is a vehicle that looks like a small city car so it has four wheels it has lights
03:03blinkers even a windscreen the other category is called prototype and the
03:10vehicles that belong to this category are like a small mini rocket they normally
03:15have three wheels they're extremely light and these vehicles are those that are
03:20really going for the world records not only is the competition robust the
03:24technical scrutiny each car or prototype goes through is strict and conducted in
03:29in line with industry-wide standards technical inspection is probably the
03:34heart of the competition before the vehicles go on track we do check the
03:38length and the size of the car we do check its weight and if it has enough
03:42visibility if it has a horn so that the students can advise other competitors on
03:49track that they are overtaking beyond the racing and mechanics shell eco marathon
03:54also aims to foster camaraderie and friendship between young engineers from
03:58all over the world further bolstering international collaboration and
04:03exchanging ideas win or lose everyone stands a chance to gain a memorable
04:08experience from the shell eco marathon just like I did taking a spin in a
04:14vehicle of a previous competition winner around the Lucille international
04:18circuit Carmelo Anthony is a ten-time NBA all-star and three-time Olympic gold
04:25medalist and will enter the Hall of Fame this year the holy grail of basketball
04:30elites during his 19-year career Carmelo is one of the most prolific scorers of
04:34his generation and currently ranks 10th all-time in NBA scoring in his new role as
04:40FIBA's global ambassador Carmelo hopes to grow the game internationally and
04:43with two years left until Qatar hosts the 2027 basketball World Cup the Hall of
04:47Famer arrived in Doha to kick off the festivities. Respect. Mello, welcome to Doha. Nice to meet you.
05:00From Hoodie Mello to Hall of Fame Mello your name is now cemented in history
05:05alongside the greats like Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant these are
05:08international names that people know and now when people know Mello you're in
05:12that stratosphere. I think those names that you just mentioned were guys that
05:17took advantage of the the opportunity to go international go global Michael did it
05:26you know kind of 92 kind of established you know what the USA on a basketball on a
05:33on a world stage and somebody like Kobe was somebody who was constantly went
05:38overseas traveled overseas built his international community his fan base all
05:44right you know they they left the door open for somebody else and I took it took
05:49the opportunity. Now the world saw Mello in a thobe.
05:51Yeah yeah big time it's but that's organic that's they understand you know what that
05:56means to me um yeah and it's it's it's an opportunity for me to continue to spread
06:01and you know get my global game on. What can fans expect what's to come in 2027 here in Qatar?
06:08Yeah I think the fans gonna see it I think they you know they want to know what's what it is I think
06:13Qatar would do a job of delivering an experience that people haven't had in a long time and for me
06:20to be a part of that and then showing the rest of the world and even showing you know back where we
06:24at in in America that it's not just about America you know it's other places that other regions around
06:31the world who's actually taking the seeds that you know the Americans planted and growing them
06:37globally now so we're seeing those those seeds blossom now. Now we all know Hall of Fame Carmelo
06:44Anthony but Young Mello's journey was anything but easy you know take us back to the early days in
06:49Red Hook Brooklyn and then eventually Baltimore. So it was very very difficult uh kind of navigating
06:55those walls and navigating that world. I'll take my hat off to my mom for you know it was always we
07:03gonna be all right we gonna be okay we gonna figure it out and she always did so that you know those
07:08morals and standards that was instilled to me at an early age they were never going to work so when
07:13you come out of that you have a different understanding of what it means to go through or live in situations
07:19like that or go through daily occurrences so that part of my life has really jump started and made
07:25me understand why I'm here today. You recently gave a commencement speech at Syracuse where you won
07:31a national championship your son is going to go in the fall just take us through what you wanted to
07:35relate to that class. I've been here before I walked in those shoes but it's your time now because now you
07:42are going on to whatever is next right and you're not going to have anything figured out you're not going
07:48to understand it you're not going to know it but don't let nobody keep you in the box don't just
07:52you know get stuck on one experience go through the journey uh and you're still young right so don't
07:59don't don't don't box yourself in at 20 years old 21 years old because you you will have multiple paths
08:06and multiple kind of experiences in life. The FIBA Basketball World Cup is an exciting event for us to
08:15look forward to but now let's head to the Doha Film Institute's flagship talent incubator.
08:20Kumra brings together more than 250 film industry professionals from over 50 countries to mentor
08:26emerging filmmakers making it the largest and most diverse gathering to date. I went to check it out.
08:34Jamal Alkanji is producing his first feature-length documentary but the first time Qatari filmmaker is
08:40no stranger to high pressure situations. As a cardiac surgeon for more than a decade he's used to
08:46calling the shots. Still participating in the Doha Film Institute's Kumra mentorship program has been
08:52invaluable. It's been amazing I mean I wouldn't have dreamed to be where I am today if it was not for
08:58Doha Film Institute. They've been supportive they nourished us they loved the idea from the beginning they
09:02supported it financially and with expertise. This year's edition of Kumra features 27 feature-length films,
09:0910 series and 12 short films at different stages of development, production and post-production.
09:16Jamal's film about spearfishing is a passion project currently in early post-production.
09:22It's a wonderful opportunity really for me as a Qatari director because I think these platforms give
09:27us the opportunity to basically tell our stories and to show that this region can produce different
09:33stories as well away from the kind of stereotypical kind of stories that are associated from the region.
09:38The film institute's CEO agrees and says Kumra has given emerging regional filmmakers the
09:44confidence to tell their stories to the world. A safe space where they can come share their projects
09:50share their thoughts and stories with industry from literally from all over the globe where they can be
09:56discovered where they can be supported in different stages of their films. From the global south to the global
10:03stage, Kumra builds on the Doha Film Institute's commitment to supporting underrepresented storytellers
10:09especially from Asia, Africa and Latin America. Of the 49 selected projects, 16 are from Qatar,
10:16which the DFI says showcases the growth in the country's film industry. That growth is assisted by
10:22international film industry experts. Hong Kong filmmaking legend Johnny Toh, who didn't go to film
10:28school himself, came to Doha to deliver a masterclass. I always tell the young people you have to finish
10:36finish your script first. I cannot tell you what is the good way to like me. I only tell you go the normal
10:44way. I have a very very long experience to shooting on set many, many years. You can change it when you shoot,
10:53but you must very sure what are you talking about. The goal of the Talent Incubator is to help develop
11:02new voices in Arab and global cinema. Qatari filmmaker Maryam Al-Muhammad hopes to spark conversations by
11:08amplifying underrepresented voices. The 20-year-old received the DFI production grant and says events
11:15like Kumra really open doors for filmmakers like herself. A lot of people come from around the world
11:21and very very important people so it's uh it's one of the only events where you can really interact
11:27with these people face to face and uh one-on-one and it's uh we've been getting a lot of uh knowledge
11:34and experience. From aspiring engineers to emerging filmmakers with a basketball hall of famer sharing
11:43some gems along the way, we hope you enjoyed this episode. But that's all the time we have for
11:48now. For more, check out Euronews.com and connect with us through our hashtag. Thanks for watching
11:53and we'll see you next time on Qatar 365.
