The Saudi Film Commission is participating in the 79th edition of the Venice International Film Festival, the Saudi Press Agency (SPA) reported Thursday.

The 11-day event draws together films makers from around the world.

The Film Commission, through its participation in the event, aims to consolidate its presence in international forums, and intensify its relations with filmmakers in the world through dialogue sessions and bilateral meetings, SPA said.

It also aims to promote the incentives program implemented by the Commission to attract and encourage international film productions to film in the Kingdom, it said.

The Commission is set to showcase the benefits of the program to international filmmakers and film producers, and will highlight the film industry in the Kingdom and its support for Saudi talents.

Police and firefighters in New Hampshire responded to an unusual call Thursday morning — a moose was trapped in a backyard swimming pool.
A video shot by police shows rescuers removing a pool covering after arriving at the home at about 8:45 a.m. to reveal the adult moose standing in the water.
After the cover was removed, the moose strolled out of the shallow end of the pool and headed to a wooded area next to the home.
Bedford Police Chief Daniel Douidi said in a statement that no people or animals were harmed.
“I want to remind residents that moose can be very dangerous animals due to their size, and we appreciate that residents called us this morning to assist with this situation,” Douidi said.
