The Red Sea Film Festival Fund announced this week that it has launched the first round of its fourth edition dedicated to supporting cinema projects in post-production phase.

The fund called on filmmakers willing to receive a post-production grant, and those interested in receiving support for their cinema projects in the completion, distribution and screening phases, to submit their applications and projects to maximize their winning chances.

The fund stated that it has started to accept the applications as of February 6, from Arab and African filmmakers, opening the door for features (at least 60 minutes), as well as documentaries and animation films.

The fund also urged filmmakers to stay tuned to the forthcoming rounds and all the related information on the terms, conditions and applications.

The Red Sea Fund has launched a campaign to support more than 100 projects, with grants of up to $500,000 for each project in all phases of production: development, production, or under development.

An Australian student missing for two weeks near the country's tallest mountain was found on Wednesday, after surviving by foraging for berries, drinking water from a creek and finding two muesli bars left behind by other hikers, police said.

Hadi Nazari, a 23-year-old university student from Melbourne, went missing from his group of friends on December 26 in the Kosciuszko National Park.

Nazari was found on Wednesday afternoon by a group of hikers who alerted the authorities, police in the state of New South Wales said.

“This is the fourteenth day we've been looking for him and for him to come out and be in such good spirits and in such great condition, it’s incredible," NSW Police Inspector Josh Broadfoot said.

The student was in "really good spirits" with no significant injuries, he added.

More than 300 people had searched for Nazari across rugged bushland, police said. The national park is home to the 2,228 meter (7,310 foot) Mount Kosciuszko.
