RIYADH: Saudi Arabia’s Film Commission will launch the fourth edition of the Filmmakers Program later this month, as it continues to develop Saudi talent in the industry.
Previous editions of the program included more than 62 training courses and trained more than 2,430 people, the Saudi Press Agency said on Monday.
In this version of the program, the commission aims to train 4,000 people, both beginners and professionals, and implement 150 training workshops in 13 regions of the Kingdom.
The commission said it will also launch the first version of the Kader Program, which will provide professional field training opportunities for up to 50 filmmakers, allowing trainees to develop cinematic tools in multiple specializations within the industry over 21 days.
The Kader initiative will be held in cooperation with international production houses and will be included in existing cinematic projects.
Through its programs and initiatives, the Film Commission seeks to provide professional training opportunities and strengthen communication between filmmakers and industry experts.
