‘No shortage of creative voices,’ Rima Mismar says ahead of training program

RIYADH: Is a new chapter beginning for women filmmakers in the region? Rima Mismar, executive director of the Arab Fund for Arts and Culture, thinks so. Mismar spoke with Arab News about the third “Women in Film: Training Through Practice” event, run in partnership with Netflix. An open call, which ends on July 17, is inviting Arab women between the ages of 23 to 30 living in Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Jordan, Kuwait or the UAE to a hybrid — online and in person — residency later this year, in either the UAE or Saudi Arabia.
