Jamie Lang The Red Sea Film Festival has announced that its second edition will run Dec. 1-10 this year, after its 2021 inaugural event saw nearly 140 films from 67 countries in 34 languages screen for more than 30,000 ticket holders and over 3,100 accredited industry guests.
The Festival will once again be held in Jeddah’s UNESCO World Heritage Site, old-town Al Balad.“We are grateful to the film and local community who put their trust in us, this was a huge undertaking and the team worked extremely hard to deliver a Festival that I believe exceeded expectations,” said festival chairman Mohammed Al-Turki. “To bring people together through the universal language of film within the historic surroundings of Jeddah’s historic oldtown, to see emerging local filmmakers present their films alongside international counterparts to full cinemas was truly extraordinary.
The future is bright for Saudi film and I look forward to welcoming return and new guests from around the world for our second edition.” Managing director Shivani Pandya Malhotra added: “We were thrilled with the first edition and the overwhelmingly positive reaction from our local and international guests.
Of course, this is just the beginning and we will strive to build upon the foundations of a Festival that promises a bright future for talent, brings the very best of cinema to audiences, supports the flourishing Saudi film industry, and becomes a gateway for business opportunities and collaboration.”The Duchess of Cambridge will appear on CBeebies “Bedtime Stories” on Feb.
