The upcoming event will take place at Al-Balad, Jeddah.
Following the resounding success of previous years, the Red Sea International Film Festival is returning for its fourth edition. Taking place from 5 to 14 December, this event will be held at the Red Sea Film Festival headquarters in Al-Balad, Jeddah.
Red Sea International Film Festival is committed to diversity and innovation in filmmaking. From the riveting Red Sea: Competition category, which celebrates boundary-pushing works of art, to the captivating Red Sea: Shorts Competition, dedicated to showcasing compelling short films under 60 minutes, there’s something for every film enthusiast. Additionally, the festival proudly presents the New Saudi/New Cinema category, a curated platform shining a spotlight on emerging local talent, promising fresh perspectives and creative ingenuity.
Last year, cinephiles were treated to a staggering lineup of 125 films hailing from 75 countries. And this year, the festival aims to take things up a notch with the theme, A New Home of Film. The opening will see the world premiere of The Tale of Daye’s Family, which follows the story of a young boy with a beautiful voice, as he faces challenges due to his appearance. Other movies such as To A Land Unknown, Superboys of Malegaon, Saify, Moon and many others, promise 10 days of pure cinematic brilliance.
Apart from movie screenings, a selection of short films will also be on display. Additionally, talks with industry leaders as well as film workshops are also on the agenda to give fans an insight into the world of filmmaking and beyond.
With previous editions of the Red Sea International Film Festival playing host to a constellation of luminaries including the likes of Will Smith, Johnny Depp, Shah Rukh Khan, Halle Berry, and many more, this year’s going to feature some big names as well. Hollywood Viola Davis will be making her way to Jeddah for the festival along with Egyptian actress Mona Zaki. More names are expected to be announced soon.
