Every year, ten days of film, new and old – encounter the makers, learn from the masters, be inspired by the best.

Discover old favorites with lovingly curated retrospectives and restored classics. Explore immersive audio-visual worlds and try something new with experimental and short film strands.
The Festival’s sixth edition will take place December 3—12, 2026 in Jeddah, at the new headquarters in Al Balad, Jeddah.
