The Red Sea Film Festival Foundation announced on Tuesday the launch of the phase of the Red Sea Fund, with up to $500,000 per film on offer this year. The third cycle will support projects with directors from Saudi Arabia, the Arab world and Africa, seeking to help the new generation of filmmakers, as well as older ones, see their scripts come to life on screen.
The Red Sea Fund promotes bold and original ideas that embrace a rich and diverse range of topics that inform, educate and entertain global audiences. Feature fiction, documentary, episodic or animation films can also be submitted by all applicants, while short fiction, documentary and animation film projects are only open to Saudi directors.
