“Horizon” won the award for best film about the Saudi environment, while the film “Bakhrush” won the award for best cinematography.
“Horizon” contributes to increasing awareness of environmental diversity in the Kingdom, introducing unique geographical areas, and to efforts exerted to protect wildlife, preserve rare species, and introduce the world to the Kingdom’s various treasures by showing its picturesque nature, SPA reported.

"Horizon" is a result of the Kingdom's efforts to protect the environment being among the targets of the Saudi Vision 2030, prioritizing preserving wildlife and enacting regulations under the supervision of the National Center for Wildlife.
“Bakhruh” tells the story of the Wadi Quraish battle, led by Bakhrush bin Allas Al-Zahrani, who fought alongside the first Saudi State.
