The Red Sea Film Foundation has announced the teams selected for the fourth edition of the 48hr Film Challenge.
Launched in June 2024, this challenge is a collaboration between the foundation, the French Consulate in Jeddah, the Embassy of France in the Kingdom, and the Alliance Française, according to SPA.
The challenge aims to encourage emerging talents to think creatively in their cinematic pursuits and uncover innovative minds in independent filmmaking.
The selected teams will have the opportunity to participate in artistic workshops and guidance programs scheduled for July 19-20, 2024. These will include workshops on film directing, writing, and editing. The teams will then compete for 48 hours on July 26-27, 2024, with the winning teams set to be announced on September 19, 2024.
The French Consulate will provide 15 selected team members with two days of professional workshops in Jeddah and Riyadh featuring experts from France and the Kingdom. The workshops will include short film screenings and industry discussions, with the winning teams chosen by the jury.
The winning teams will be able to attend an artistic residency at the La Fémis School in France in 2025, organized by the French Consulate in Jeddah. The upcoming Red Sea International Film Festival in December 2024 will also screen the winning films.
