The Film Commission is participating in the 10th edition of the Saudi Film Festival, held at the King Abdulaziz Center for World Culture (Ithra) in Dhahran from May 2 to 9.
This annual local film event is organized in collaboration with the Saudi Cinema Association, with support from the Film Commission.
The commission's participation aims to advance the film sector and nurture talented individuals. The commission seeks to showcase diverse knowledge and ideas by fostering communication between filmmakers and industry experts.
The commission's festival participation includes a pavilion where it presents its vision, goals, strategies, projects, and initiatives for developing the sector. The pavilion serves as a platform for Saudi companies and talents to network.
In addition to providing financial support to the festival, the commission screens films it has supported, including animated films like "The Menace from Above" and "Saleeq," as well as feature films such as "Within Sand," "Hajjan," and "Salem's Disappearance," which received support through the commission's incentives program.
The 10th Saudi Film Festival features competitions to enhance the quality of screenplays and films. In addition to expanding the range of film screenings to include Arab and international productions, the festival offers an enriching program of workshops, seminars, and networking events for filmmakers.
