Saudi: Jeddah streets to host Red Sea Film Festival

The Red Sea International Film Festival has launched film screenings and masterclasses as part of a community program to educate Saudi film enthusiasts on acting, directing, and producing.

The program has been launched in four Jeddah neighbourhoods, with six screenings a day of films chosen for their appeal to younger viewers. Also, six directors and three actors from around the Kingdom will conduct master classes, shooting a scene in front of a live audience — some of whom will be selected to take part, as extras or as part of the crew.

The new program is called Cinema Al-Hara, which roughly translates to alley or lane, and will run until Oct. 30.
