When Saudi Arabia decided to allow cinemas in 2017, Mohammed Al Turki knew it was time to use his experience to lend a helping hand to his country in the field of cinema. “Even when I was in Hollywood, I felt that I was different from other producers, precisely because I was Saudi.” He said. The producer and CEO of the Red Sea Film Foundation returned to the Cannes Film Festival with the film “Noura” by director Tawfiq Al-Zaidi, which is considered the first Saudi film to be officially selected for the Cannes Festival, and another edition of the annual event for women in cinema. “Empowering women is a movement that is not only related to Saudi cinema, but to the entire country.” He added.
