Abstract

The Red Sea Film Festival in Saudi Arabia has quickly become a prominent hub for Arab cinema, with films supported by its Red Sea Fund receiving accolades such as Oscar nominations and screenings at prestigious festivals like Cannes. The festival's 2024 edition will take place in Jeddah's historic district of Al-Balad, featuring a newly constructed Cultural Square with five cinemas and an auditorium for screenings. The festival aims to foster cinephile audiences in Saudi Arabia by showcasing specialty films that may not receive commercial releases in the kingdom, reflecting a desire to grow and diversify the country's film industry.
