The Red Sea International Film Festival (RedSeaIFF), which will have its inaugural edition from 6-15 December, has announced a number of celebrations in honour of the ground-breaking contribution of women to film.
The Festival will honour the first female Saudi filmmaker, Haifaa Al Mansour, who is not only one of the most significant names in the Saudi film industry but has led the way in championing female empowerment across the region.
Her feature debut, Wadjda, was the first film to ever be shot in the Kingdom and was nominated for numerous international awards, including the BAFTA Award for Best Film not in the English Language. She has since gone on to direct numerous TV shows and films internationally, including Mary Shelley and Nappily Ever After, and continues to break ground in filmmaking.
