00:00La courte a été comme ma sanctuary.
00:05Je sais que je vais aller dans deux ou trois heures,
00:09personne ne va me bother, pas de phones.
00:11Si je veux être là pour moi, je vais être là pour moi.
00:15Je pense que c'est très important pour moi à dire stories,
00:18surtout que je suis un Qadr et que je veux dire
00:20pour les gens de mon culturel.
00:26Bonjour, et bienvenue à Qadr 365 avec moi, Adil Halim.
00:30This episode is about education and how learning
00:32doesn't always happen in the classroom.
00:35I sat down with 10-time NBA all-star
00:37and three-time Olympic gold medalist Carmelo Anthony
00:39to find out what lessons he's hoping to share
00:42in his new role as FIBA Global Ambassador.
00:45Then we stopped by Qumra,
00:46the Doha Film Institute's talent incubator,
00:49to understand the importance of masterclasses
00:51for aspiring filmmakers.
00:53But first, Lila Humaira is off to the races
00:55to take a different kind of spin on the track
00:58in search of the fastest energy-efficient vehicle.
01:01Zubaida Al-Tamimi is all suited up
01:05and ready to race.
01:07A sophomore at the University of Doha
01:09for Science and Technology,
01:11Zubaida is the driver and team leader
01:13of Wolves Racing EV1,
01:15one of a few dozen teams competing
01:17in the Shell Eco-Marathon
01:19for Asia-Pacific and Middle East.
01:21We had to build a motor controller by our own.
01:25Some people take years of experience
01:27to build that motor controller.
01:29For us, only four months with a couple of research,
01:31with the doctor's help, we were able to do it.
01:34So we were like running the furthest
01:36with least amount of energy.
01:38She's the only one who has competed
01:40in the event before,
01:41representing her school and country
01:43in Indonesia for last year's edition.
01:46And coming back this time,
01:47it was extra special,
01:49racing on home turf.
01:50While the Lusail International Circuit
01:53is more familiar with the thrilling speeds
01:55of Formula 1 cars,
01:56this time the track is hosting
01:58the first ever edition
01:59of the Shell Eco-Marathon
02:01held in the Middle East.
02:02They may not go as fast,
02:04but these cars are designed
02:05and built from scratch.
02:07The aim is to clock the fastest time
02:09with the most energy-efficient vehicle.
02:11And that process is so rigorous
02:13that for many of the teams competing,
02:15getting the car on the track
02:17is a win on its own.
02:18Celebrating the 40th anniversary
02:21of Shell Eco-Marathon means
02:22it's four decades of giving
02:24the changemakers of tomorrow
02:26an opportunity to build
02:28the world's most energy-efficient cars
02:30and to further their STEM education.
02:32And for the students,
02:33it is a constant way of learning.
02:36They apply their knowledge,
02:37their ingenuity,
02:38their creativity
02:39to an amazing project
02:40that is part of their curriculum.
02:42As a team,
02:43the aspiring engineers
02:45decide between
02:46two main vehicle models to build,
02:48giving them plenty of opportunities
02:50to innovate and be creative.
02:52So in Shell Eco-Marathon,
02:54if you want to participate,
02:55you have to pick a category.
02:57That could be urban concept,
02:58which is a vehicle
02:59that looks like a small city car.
03:01So it has four wheels,
03:03it has lights,
03:04blinkers,
03:05even a windscreen.
03:06The other category
03:07is called prototype
03:08and the vehicles
03:10that belong to this category
03:12are like a small mini rocket.
03:15They normally have three wheels,
03:17they're extremely light
03:18and these vehicles
03:19are those that are really going
03:20for the world record.
03:22Not only is the competition robust,
03:24the technical scrutiny
03:25each car or prototype goes through
03:27is strict and conducted in line
03:29with industry-wide standards.
03:32Technical inspection
03:33is probably the heart
03:34of the competition
03:35before the vehicles go on track.
03:37We do check the length
03:38and the size of the car,
03:40we do check its weight
03:41and if it has enough visibility,
03:44if it has a horn
03:45so that the students
03:46can advise other competitors
03:48on track
03:49that they are overtaking.
03:51Beyond the racing and mechanics,
03:53Shell Eco-Marathon
03:54also aims to foster camaraderie
03:56and friendship
03:56between young engineers
03:58from all over the world,
04:00further bolstering
04:01international collaboration
04:02and exchanging ideas.
04:04win or lose,
04:06everyone stands a chance
04:07to gain a memorable experience
04:09from the Shell Eco-Marathon
04:11just like I did,
04:13taking a spin in a vehicle
04:14of a previous competition winner
04:16around the Lucille
04:17international circuit.
04:21Carmelo Anthony
04:22is a 10-time NBA All-Star
04:24and three-time Olympic gold medalist
04:26and will enter the Hall of Fame
04:27this year,
04:28the holy grail
04:29of basketball elites.
04:31During his 19-year career,
04:32Carmelo is one of the most
04:33prolific scorers
04:34of his generation
04:35and currently ranks
04:3610th all-time
04:37in NBA scoring.
04:39In his new role
04:39as FIBA's global ambassador,
04:41Carmelo hopes to grow
04:42the game internationally.
04:43And with two years left
04:44until Qatar hosts
04:45the 2027 Basketball World Cup,
04:47the Hall of Famer arrived in Doha
04:48to kick off the festivities.
04:50Respect.
04:52Melo, welcome to Doha.
04:54Nice to meet you.
05:00From Hoodie Melo
05:01to Hall of Fame Melo,
05:03your name is now
05:04cemented in history
05:05alongside the greats
05:06like Michael Jordan
05:06and Kobe Bryant.
05:08These are international names
05:09that people know
05:10and now people know Melo.
05:12You're in that stratosphere.
05:13I think those names
05:14that you just mentioned
05:15were guys that
05:17took advantage
05:19of the opportunity
05:21to go international,
05:24go global.
05:26Michael did it,
05:27you know,
05:27kind of 92,
05:28kind of established
05:29what the USA
05:31on basketball,
05:33on a world stage.
05:35And somebody like Kobe
05:36was somebody
05:36who constantly
05:37went overseas,
05:38traveled overseas,
05:40built his international
05:42community,
05:43his fan base.
05:44You know,
05:45they left the door open
05:46for somebody else
05:47and I took the opportunity.
05:49Now the world
05:50saw Melo in a thobe.
05:51Yeah, yeah,
05:52big time.
05:52But that's organic.
05:54They understand,
05:55you know,
05:56what that means to me.
05:58Yeah,
05:58and it's an opportunity
05:59for me to continue
06:00to spread
06:01and get my global game
06:04more.
06:05What can fans expect
06:06for what's to come
06:06in 2027 here in Qatar?
06:08Yeah,
06:09I think the fans
06:09are going to see it.
06:10I think they,
06:10you know,
06:11they want to know
06:11what it is.
06:13I think Qatar
06:14will do a job
06:15of delivering
06:16an experience
06:16that people haven't
06:18had in a long time
06:19and for me
06:20to be a part of that
06:21and showing the rest
06:22of the world
06:22and even showing,
06:23you know,
06:24back where we're at
06:25in America
06:26that it's not just
06:27about America.
06:29You know,
06:29it's other places
06:30and other regions
06:31around the world
06:32who's actually
06:32taking the seeds
06:34that, you know,
06:36the Americans planted
06:36and growing them
06:37globally now.
06:38So we're seeing
06:39those seeds blossom now.
06:41Now we all know
06:42Hall of Fame
06:43Carmelo Anthony,
06:44but Young Mello's
06:45journey was anything
06:46but easy.
06:47You know,
06:48take us back
06:48to the early days
06:49in Red Hook,
06:50Brooklyn,
06:50and then eventually
06:51Baltimore.
06:52So it was very,
06:52it was very difficult
06:53kind of navigating
06:55those walls
06:56and navigating
06:57that world.
06:59I'll take my hat
06:59off to my mom
07:01for, you know,
07:02it was always
07:03we're going to be all right,
07:04we're going to be okay,
07:05we're going to figure it out.
07:06And she always did
07:07so that, you know,
07:08those morals and standards
07:09that was instilled
07:10to me at an early,
07:11age,
07:12they were never going to work.
07:13So when you come out
07:14of that,
07:14you have a different
07:15understanding of what
07:16it means to go through
07:17or live in situations
07:19like that
07:19or go through daily
07:20occurrences.
07:22So that part of my life
07:24has really jump-started
07:25and made me understand
07:26why I'm here today.
07:28You recently gave
07:29a commencement speech
07:30at Syracuse
07:31where you won
07:31a national championship,
07:32your son is going to go
07:33in the fall.
07:34Just take us through
07:35what you wanted
07:35to relate to that class.
07:37I've been here before,
07:39I've walked in those shoes,
07:40but it's your time now
07:42because now you are
07:43going on to whatever
07:45is next, right?
07:46And you're not going
07:47to have it figured out.
07:48You're not going to
07:48understand it.
07:49You're not going to know it.
07:50But don't let nobody
07:51keep you in the box.
07:52Don't just, you know,
07:53get stuck on one.
07:55Experience,
07:56go through the journey,
07:56and you're still young,
07:59right?
07:59So don't box yourself in
08:02at 20 years old,
08:0321 years old
08:04because you will have
08:05multiple paths
08:06and multiple kind of
08:08experiences in life.
08:11The FIBA Basketball World Cup
08:13is an exciting event
08:14for us to look forward to.
08:16But now,
08:16let's head to the
08:17Doha Film Institute's
08:18flagship talent incubator.
08:21Kumra brings together
08:21more than 250 film industry
08:23professionals from
08:24from over 50 countries
08:25to mentor emerging filmmakers,
08:28making it the largest
08:29and most diverse gathering
08:30to date.
08:31I went to check it out.
08:34Jamal Alkanji
08:35is producing his first
08:36feature-length documentary.
08:38But the first time
08:39Qatari filmmaker
08:40is no stranger
08:41to high-pressure situations.
08:43As a cardiac surgeon
08:44for more than a decade,
08:45he's used to calling the shots.
08:47Still,
08:48participating in the
08:49Doha Film Institute's
08:50Kumra Mentorship Program
08:52has been invaluable.
08:53It's been amazing.
08:55I mean,
08:55I wouldn't have dreamed
08:56to be where I am today
08:57if it was not for
08:58Doha Film Institute.
08:59They've been supportive.
09:00They nourished us.
09:01They loved the idea
09:01from the beginning.
09:02They supported it
09:03financially and with expertise.
09:05This year's edition
09:06of Kumra features
09:0727 feature-length films,
09:0910 series,
09:10and 12 short films
09:12at different stages
09:13of development,
09:14production,
09:14and post-production.
09:16Jamal's film
09:17about spearfishing
09:18is a passion project,
09:19currently in early
09:20post-production.
09:21It's a wonderful opportunity
09:23really for me
09:24as a Qatari director
09:25because I think
09:25these platforms
09:26give us the opportunity
09:28to basically
09:29tell our stories
09:30and to show that
09:32this region can produce
09:33different stories as well,
09:34away from the kind of
09:35stereotypical kind of stories
09:36that are associated
09:37from the region.
09:39The Film Institute's CEO
09:40agrees and says
09:41Kumra has given
09:42emerging regional filmmakers
09:43the confidence
09:44to tell their stories
09:45to the world.
09:47A safe space
09:48where they can come
09:48share their projects,
09:50share their thoughts
09:51and stories
09:51with industry
09:52from literally
09:53from all over the globe
09:54where they can be discovered,
09:56where they can be supported
09:57in different stages
09:59of their films.
10:00From the global south
10:02to the global stage,
10:03Kumra builds
10:04on the Doha Film Institute's
10:06commitment
10:06to supporting
10:07underrepresented storytellers,
10:09especially from Asia,
10:10Africa,
10:11and Latin America.
10:12Of the 49 selected projects,
10:1516 are from Qatar,
10:16which the DFI says
10:18showcases the growth
10:19in the country's
10:20film industry.
10:21That growth is assisted
10:22by international
10:23film industry experts.
10:25Hong Kong filmmaking legend
10:26Johnny To,
10:28who didn't go to
10:28film school himself,
10:30came to Doha
10:30to deliver a masterclass.
10:32I always tell the young people,
10:35you have to finish
10:35your script first.
10:38I cannot tell you
10:39what is the good way
10:41to like me.
10:43I only tell you
10:43go the normal way.
10:45I have a very, very long experience
10:48to shooting
10:48on set
10:50many, many years.
10:52You can change it
10:53when you shoot,
10:54but you must
10:55very sure
10:56what are you talking about.
10:59The goal of the Talent Incubator
11:01is to help develop
11:02new voices
11:02in Arab and global cinema.
11:05Qatari filmmaker
11:05Mariam Al-Mohamed
11:06hopes to spark conversations
11:08by amplifying
11:09underrepresented voices.
11:11The 20-year-old
11:12received the
11:13DFI production grant
11:14and says events
11:15like Qumra
11:16really open doors
11:17for filmmakers
11:18like herself.
11:19A lot of people
11:20come from around the world
11:21and very, very important people.
11:24So it's one of the only events
11:26where you can really interact
11:27with these people
11:28face-to-face
11:29and one-on-one.
11:31And we've been getting
11:32a lot of knowledge
11:34and experience.
11:34From aspiring engineers
11:39to emerging filmmakers
11:41with a Basketball Hall of Famer
11:43sharing some gems
11:44along the way,
11:45we hope you enjoyed
