Director and Red Sea IFF Jury President Oliver Stone explores the possibility for the global community to overcome the challenges of climate change and energy poverty to reach a brighter future through the power of nuclear energy. In this wide-ranging doc, Stone looks at how coal and oil lobby groups partly funded a disinformation PR campaign to protect their own interests in the middle of the 20th Century and how this campaign would sow fear about harmless low-level radiation and create confusion between nuclear weapons and nuclear power. As a documentarian, Stone has built his stellar reputation through challenging Orthodox thinking, and here he uses unprecedented access to the nuclear industry in France, Russia, and the United States in presenting his case. Oliver Stone will be present at Red Sea IFF.

In-Conversation with Jeremy Renner

Director: Jeremy Renner

Two-time Academy Award nominee Jeremy Renner has established himself as one of Hollywood's most versatile and respected actors. Throughout the 2000s, he appeared largely in independent films, including “Dahmer” and “Neo Ned.” Shortly thereafter, he began starring in blockbuster features, earning critical acclaim for his roles in “The Hurt Locker” (Academy Award nomination for Best Actor) and “The Town” (Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actor). Renner's career expanded with significant roles in major franchises, including “Mission Impossible - Ghost Protocol” and “The Bourne Legacy.” He also originated the role of “Hawkeye” in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) “Avengers” films, becoming a key figure in the superhero genre. Renner's impressive filmography includes starring in the award-winning movie “American Hustle,” the science fiction hit “Arrival” alongside Amy Adams, and the critically acclaimed thriller “Wind River.” On television, Renner played the titular character in Marvel’s series “Hawkeye” for Disney+ and he currently stars in one of Paramount+’s top-performing original dramas, “Mayor of Kingstown.” Additionally, he starred in Disney+’s four-part docuseries “Rennervations.” Beyond his acting career, Renner is dedicated to philanthropy through his foundation, the Rennervation Foundation, which focuses on various charitable initiatives.

EAST OF NOON

Director: Hala Elkoussy

Stuck in a sandy enclave in the middle of nowhere, aspiring musician Abdo divides his time between digging graves and creating music using household implements. Along with his Nunna, he is plotting his escape to a wider world while scheming to survive the everyday tyranny of the enclave boss, Master Shawky. A story that is very much about the power of story-telling, with some of the flavour of the Arabian Nights, the evocatively titled East of Noon is shot largely in black and white. This surface beauty gives its familiar theme of youthful revolt a surreal, fantastical quality, allowing ideas that would otherwise be taboo to float free.
