In its sixth edition, movie fanatics are invited to vote online for their favorite films and hold virtual discussions. In light of the Covid-19 pandemic, the organizing team found it best to take the festival online to safeguard attendees' health and make sure everyone can attend.
Dating back to 2008, the Saudi Film Festival has always celebrated Saudi films and has given local filmmakers the opportunity to reach regional global audiences.
