(MENAFN- Saudi Press Agency) Jeddah, November 27, 2022, SPA -- The Red Sea Souk unveiled today its full Talent Days' program of events, the Red Sea 360° Industry talks and the Networking Sessions. These three programs will invite Saudi and International directors and producers to a series of workshops and panels during the Red Sea International Film Festival, led by established names in the filmmaking world.
The Red Sea 360° offers four days of thrilling talks on production, finance and innovation in the Entertainment Industry. Festival attendees can join up to thirteen sessions covering a variety of topics such as sales and distribution, co-productions, investment opportunities in the Arab region, incentives and tax rebates, funding into content, streaming, music, storytelling, episodic content, Metaverse and more.
During these talks, over 50 panelists from the global film industry will share their knowledge and expertise.
The Networking Sessions will take place across three days during the Red Sea Souk. As part of the Red Sea International Film Festival's commitment to fostering new filmmaking talent, the Networking Sessions will provide opportunities for new entrants and emerging filmmakers to connect and network with key industry players during informal yet organised 15-minute speed-meetings. Tailored to enhance connections between Festival/Souk attendees and industry professionals, the Networking Sessions will gather over 80 selective industry guests, spread in three sessions dedicated to three main stages in a film's evolution: development, production and distribution.
This year, the Talent Days program has been redesigned to focus entirely on a new generation of filmmakers. Aspiring talents will receive a unique insight into the filmmaking world from experienced industry professionals and will have the opportunity to make valuable networking connections.
Participants will also have access to five dedicated mentors from different backgrounds within the cinema industry.

In this competitive and sensitive filmmaking industry, knowledge-sharing, support and networking are deeply important to talent development. We are delighted to have such fantastic cinema professionals on board sharing their expertise so generously with our participants and attendees.”
As part of the Red Sea Souk, the three programs will take place at the Ritz Carlton, Jeddah, during the Red Sea International Film Festival and will be open to All Badges.
