🎨Red Sea Film Festival 2025: when Cinema Illuminates Jeddah
Every winter, the port city of Jeddah ignites with the rhythm of the projectors of the Red Sea Film Festival, an unmissable event for lovers of the seventh art. The 2025 edition has not yet revealed its official dates, but, true to tradition, it is expected to take place in December, transforming the Saudi coast into a global cinematic showcase.
A Cultural Crossroads between East and West
Born to celebrate the diversity of perspectives and narratives, the festival has already established itself as one of the major cultural events in the Middle East. Arab films, international productions, and independent works come together there, offering the public a mosaic of sensibilities. The Red Sea then becomes the mirror of a cinema in motion, both local and universal.

-
Lail Nahar, a romantic fresco about an opera singer facing the media storm of “cancel culture.”

Among the short films, the audience will discover:
