“One of our goals is to support this industry but also to promote independent films,” he continued, “we don’t have a quota, we select projects without thinking about specific numbers or having a target in mind. For example, when we did our 2022 selection, we discovered many Saudi films were produced this year.

I believe this will be our main mission, plus helping set up independent cinemas and getting independent films distributed in Saudi.
