Antoine Khalife, Director of Arab Programs & Film Classics for the RedSeaIFF, said: “Arab directors take us through their films to extraordinary countries that help the characters to better understand values, whether it is the green mountains of Lebanon, or the Atlas Mountains in Morocco, passing through the beauty of the Saudi deserts or recently explored urban areas in Kuwait. Each of these mainstream films will make local audiences dream, cry, laugh and love, through funny, tender, and romantic characters”.

Kaleem Aftab, Director of International Programming for the RedSeaIFF, added: “Our International Spectacular section brings together the most thought-provoking storytelling from this year’s global film festival circuit. Comprised of films from both established filmmaking voices and emerging talent, the International Spectacular section promises to share the years’ most disruptive films with Saudi audiences.”
