Saudi Arabia’s Red Sea Intl. Film Festival is becoming a major catalyst for moviemaking in a place where it hadn’t really existed for a long time before.
Oliver Stone has been recruited to preside over the competition jury. The competition comprises 16 titles of fresh films from the Arab region, including Saudi’s current international Oscar contender, the coming of age comedy “Raven Song.” Produced by leading indie shingle Telfaz 11, “Raven Song” is about a young man named Nasser, who, after being diagnosed with a brain tumor, is coaxed by his best friend to reach out to an enigmatic woman with whom he is infatuated by singing her a love poem.
The closer is the world premiere of Saudi feature “Valley Road,” written and directed by writer-director Khaled Fahd, who started his career in Canada before Saudi Arabia lifted the ban on cinema. It’s an uplifting drama about a man named Ali who lives in a mountain village and is perceived as having a disability.
