During the ten-day festival starting December 1, Vox Cinemas will be the exclusive cinema operator for the public screenings of the festival at Red Sea Mall.
Vox Cinemas, the dedicated cinema arm of Majid Al Futtaim, will be the Red Sea International Film Festival’s exclusive cinema partner for the second consecutive year.
The strategic partnership underpins Vox Cinemas’ commitment to contribute to the future of the Kingdom and develop a sustainable film industry across the region.
Vox Cinemas will operate seven film theatres at Red Sea Mall in Jeddah, which will screen a diverse slate of more than 120 films comprising international and local features during the ten-day festival.
Commenting on the partnership, Mohammed Al Turki, CEO of Red Sea International Film Festival said: “We are proud to once again partner with Vox Cinemas to bring the best of Saudi and Arab films to the big screen. The Red Sea International Film Festival provides an important platform for promising film creatives to showcase their potential and achievements in front of their peers, industry professionals, and the global audience. With Vox Cinemas as our Festival partner, we strive to inspire young Saudis and Arabs to pursue their passion in film to contribute to the Kingdom’s flourishing industry, and we thank Vox Cinemas for furthering our vision through this collaboration.”
Ignace Lahoud, Chief Executive Officer, Majid Al Futtaim Leisure, Entertainment & Cinemas, added: “Storytelling is rooted in Arabic culture, and VOX Cinemas is dedicated to cultivating a new wave of talent and empowering them to use the language of film to tell their stories. As the region’s largest exhibitor, we have a great opportunity to leverage our scale and showcase the depth and breadth of local creativity on the big screen. We have been a proud Festival partner of the Red Sea International Film Festival since its inception, and we look forward to joining forces once again, given our shared commitment to expand the reach of Arabic culture and heritage to global audiences.”
The partnership between the Red Sea International Film Festival and Vox Cinemas brings together two cinematic trailblazers to take the festival attendees on a show-stopping journey. The film-going experience has become an established part of Saudi Arabia’s entertainment offering, due to the rapid expansion of Vox Cinemas across the Kingdom in recent years.
The Red Sea International Film Festival celebrates excellence in film, a sentiment shared by Vox Cinemas in their commitment to realise the objectives of Vision 2030 by making cinema easily accessible to communities of film enthusiasts across the Kingdom.
