The initiative, titled “Women in Film III: Training Through Practice,” will provide training and mentorship opportunities to 35 participants from Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Egypt, Jordan and Kuwait. The program aims to strengthen women’s representation in the regional film industry while supporting the development of a sustainable creative ecosystem.
This year’s edition introduces two specialized tracks. One is aimed at writers, directors and producers, helping participants develop and package film projects through guided mentorship. The second focuses on technical disciplines, including cinematography, editing and sound design.
Participants will take part in workshops, online mentorship sessions and a week-long in-person residency designed to help refine projects.
