The In Conversation With segment will be held at the new Cultural Square headquarters of the Red Sea Film Foundation in Al Balad for the first time.
In a statement, Jomana Al Rashid, Chairwoman of the Red Sea Film Foundation, called the lineup of speakers in 2024 ‘extraordinary.’ She stated, “These luminaries, whose exceptional careers span both sides of the camera, have profoundly inspired generations of audiences, storytellers, and cinephiles.”
