Mohammed Al-Turki will focus on personal projects and career as a film producer, and will continue as advisor to Foundation.
Middle East - Saudi producer Mohammed Al-Turki is stepping down
as CEO of Saudi Arabia’s Red Sea Film Foundation, the parent organisation of
Saudi’s top film festival. The foundation plays a crucial role in building the
kingdom’s film and TV industry. Al-Turki, who will continue as an adviser,
plans to focus on personal projects and his career as an independent film
producer and businessman.
During the
transition, former board member Mohammed Asseri will serve as the foundation’s
acting CEO. The recent Cannes Film Festival featured Saudi Arabia’s first movie
in its official selection, Norah, a drama set in 1990s Saudi Arabia.
Al-Turki expressed gratitude for his role in advancing Saudi cinema and looks
forward to the foundation’s continued success.
The fourth edition of
Saudi’s Red Sea International Film Festival is scheduled for December 5-14 in
Jeddah.
