In his interview with Asharq Al-Awsat, Saudi writer and director Hakeem Jomah explained that he expects Saudi cinema to achieve international success over the few years after the country has rapidly developed the industry and become a regional cinematic force in a short time.
“It felt good to watch my movie (King of the Ring) screen at the Red Sea International Film Festival alongside the works of prominent artists from around the world. I am confident that this makes it clear that Saudi Arabia has the capacity to catch the world’s attention and show our cinematic identity and abilities.”
