Saudi Film Commission Joins Asian Film Commissions Network

The Saudi Film Commission has joined the Asian Film Commissions Network (AFCNet), a non-profit organization established in 2004. The network represents over 50 members across 19 countries and regions in Asia, including film commissions, production offices, and other related organizations. This strategic move aims to foster collaboration with international partners and build partnerships that drive the exchange of knowledge and expertise.
The Saudi Film Commission’s membership in AFCNet is a key milestone in its mission to develop the film industry by supporting local and regional film projects and encouraging co-productions.
This step underscores the commission’s commitment to advancing the Kingdom’s film industry, fostering cultural exchange within the global cinematic community, and contributing to the overall growth of the region’s film industry, SPA reported.
The commission is committed to creating new opportunities for filmmakers and other creatives by providing innovative platforms to showcase their work, supporting distribution channels, promoting the Kingdom as a premier filming destination, and offering competitive incentive programs. These initiatives are designed to accelerate the production of high-quality cinematic content and position Saudi Arabia as a hub for creative excellence.
Joining AFCNet not only reinforces the commission's standing on the global cinematic map but also complements its recent membership of the Association of Film Commissioners International (AFCI), announced in June 2024, aimed at enhancing Saudi Arabia’s presence in the global film industry and facilitating collaboration between national production companies, local talents, and international counterparts.
