The Saudi Film Commission and the Korean Film Council have signed a strategic partnership to enhance cooperation in the film sector, support cultural exchange, and foster industry growth between the Kingdom and South Korea.
Building on the memorandum of understanding signed between the two countries in 2019, this partnership aims to enhance knowledge exchange, production collaboration, talent development, and technological innovation in the film industry. It also underscores the commitment of both sides to supporting filmmakers and expanding international opportunities for creative professionals.
Both sides will work on developing training and development programs, offering workshops, master classes, and mentorship opportunities under the supervision of industry experts. These initiatives will help filmmakers in both countries refine their skills in key areas such as production, animation, screenwriting, and directing.
The partnership also enhances cooperation in film production and encourages Saudi and Korean filmmakers to develop and produce joint projects. The two sides will organize opportunities for cooperation and networking within the film sector, including meetings at major film festivals such as the Red Sea International Film Festival in Saudi Arabia and the Busan International Film Festival in Korea.
