Saudi Film Commission's 'Film Deposit' Initiative to Preserve Kingdom's Cinematic Heritage

Saudi Film Commission's 'Film Deposit' Initiative to Preserve Kingdom's Cinematic Heritage

The Saudi Film Commission announced on Thursday that it has launched the "Film Deposit" initiative through the National Film Archive.
According to a statement, the initiative is dedicated to collecting and archiving Saudi films to preserve and ensure their sustainability for future generations, SPA reported.
The objective is to gather Saudi films from various sources, such as companies and filmmakers, securely deposit and preserve them at a designated headquarters while also documenting Saudi Arabia's cinematic history and capturing its cultural and artistic dimensions, the statement said.
According to the commission, the "Film Deposit" initiative began with establishing the Saudi Film Registry, which contains data on over 1,000 films, including feature films and documentaries, both long and short, and has set the highest standards and guidelines for film deposits to maintain high standards, ensuring that intellectual and literary property rights align with the submitting entities.
The initiative ensures the preservation and representation of national cultural heritage through three paths: deposit for secure storage, deposit with research access for scholarly study, and deposit with public availability for general access. These accessibility paths are designed to encourage interest among researchers, cinema enthusiasts, and the general public.
The launch marks a significant step for the commission in enhancing access for those interested in films that constitute landmarks in local cinematic history. It also contributes to expanding the appreciation of the Kingdom's vast artistic and cultural heritage.
