Chinese Cinemas to Screen Saudi Films for the First Time

The Saudi Film Commission has announced the launch of Saudi Film Nights in China, the world's largest cinema market, following the success of previous such events in Morocco and Australia.

This initiative is part of the commission's efforts to drive the growth and development of the Saudi film industry, highlight local talent, and promote cultural exchange and collaboration, according to SPA.
Chinese cinemas will be showcasing Saudi films for the first time. Special screenings will be held before the official release of these films in Chinese theatres.
Saudi Film Nights are scheduled to take place from October 21 to 26 in Beijing, Shanghai, and Suzhou.

They will feature a diverse selection of Saudi features, short films, and discussions with filmmakers. The event is expected to attract prominent figures, journalists, and film critics from China, alongside cinema enthusiasts.

Dubai Culture and Arts Authority (Dubai Culture) has revealed the details of the ninth Reading Box, which will be held from October 9 to 18 at City Centre Mirdif. The event aims to expand the intellectual horizons of children and adults, encouraging them to read and explore the world of books, Emirates News Agency (WAM) reported Saturday.

This is part of Dubai Culture's commitment to supporting the National Literacy Strategy 2016–2026, which aims to embed cultural values within society and make reading a daily habit, it said.

The initiative, which falls under the umbrella of the School of Life initiative, features 55 inspiring sessions, poetry evenings and creative workshops. These activities will offer visitors the opportunity to enrich their knowledge, develop skills in storytelling, literary writing, and Arabic calligraphy, and engage in conversations with a select group of writers, intellectuals, poets, and heritage experts from the UAE and abroad.

Eiman Al Hammadi, Manager of Libraries Affairs Section at Dubai Culture, affirmed the importance of the initiative and its role in creating new avenues for knowledge enhancement among the community.

“Reading Box is an innovative and vital platform that spreads the culture of reading, encouraging individuals to access various knowledge sources, and enabling them to develop leadership and creative thinking skills through a rich program of sessions that highlight the vibrancy of Dubai's literary scene and its significant cultural momentum,” said Al Hammadi.
