Shekhar Kapur’s rom com “What’s Love Got to Do With It?” will open the second edition of Saudi Arabia’s Red Sea International Film Festival, where directorThe fest, which is Saudi’s first full-fledged film festival and market with international ambitions after the country in late 2017 removed its religion-related ban on cinemas, will run Dec. 1-10 in Jeddah, on the eastern shore of the Red Sea.
Sandwiched in between is a mix of the cream of the festival circuit crop, such as Ruben Östlund’s Palme d’Or winning “Triangle of Sadness,” Martin McDonagh’s “The Banshees of Inisherin,” and Park Chan-Wook’s “Decision to Leave,” to name a few, interspersed amid a rich serving of fresh fare from the Arab world, with an accent on Saudi’s own increasingly fertile cinematic output.
Gala screening world premieres comprise Saudi director Fahad Alammari’s “Alkhallat+,” a film spin-off of his digital series “Alkhallat,” looking at different instances of social deception and trickery, which scored more than 1.5 billion views; and Lebanese director Lara Saba’s rom-com “All Roads Lead to Rome,” in which a famous young actor is asked to audition for a film role as a young pope, and sees an opportunity to break free from the mediocre television series he stars in.
Germany’s Fatih Akin will be on hand for the Middle East premiere of his latest film “Rheingold,” a biopic of a German rapper, and will also be holding an onstage conversation.
