The organizers of the Red Sea International Film Festival explained that the festival seeks to ensure the continuity and support of cinematic works, confirming that the festival has achieved distinguished successes in only 3 years.
Today, during the Red Sea Market Awards ceremony, they emphasized the increasing and remarkable growth in the film industry in the Kingdom.
The Chair of the Board of Trustees of the Red Sea Film Festival, Jumana Al-Rashed, explained that many Arab and African artists worked for a full year to develop their films, ideas, and screenwriting until they reached the stage of honor and support that ensures continued success.
She said: It is necessary to develop this sector, especially since it has achieved remarkable success in 3 years, which is evidence that the film industry in the Arab world, Africa and Asia is constantly growing and gives the festival greater opportunities to highlight young people.
Al-Rashed added that the film industry did not exist in the Kingdom, and even dramas were directed to the cinema.
