Saudi Film Commission has announced that it is set to launch the fourth edition of the Filmmakers Programme later this month, to foster the growth of Saudi talent in the film industry. The initiative, which has previously seen significant success, with more than 62 training courses and 2,430 participants, aims to further elevate the skills of both aspiring beginners and seasoned professionals, according to a report by the Saudi Press Agency.
For the upcoming edition, the commission has set an ambitious goal of training 4,000 individuals, expanding its reach with 150 training workshops across 13 regions of the Kingdom. The programme will play a pivotal role in nurturing the next generation of filmmakers.
The commission will introduce the inaugural Kader Programme, designed to offer intensive professional field training opportunities for up to 50 filmmakers. This initiative spans 21 days and will allow participants to hone their cinematic skills across various specialisations within the industry. The Kader Programme, organised in collaboration with international production houses, will seamlessly integrate trainees into ongoing cinematic projects.
Through these comprehensive programmes and initiatives, the Saudi Film Commission is committed to providing valuable professional training opportunities while fostering robust connections between filmmakers and industry experts. As the film industry in Saudi Arabia continues to flourish, these initiatives serve as a testament to the nation’s dedication to nurturing a vibrant and skilled filmmaking community.
