This panel tackles the market\u2019s realities &#8211; with a particular focus on the Arab world and KSA &#8211; where the theatrical experience is regularly being reshaped to secure a more lasting model. Use cases include how the IMAX technology has revolutionized the experience for movie-goers, how streaming and theatrical can be complementary endeavors to support independent filmmaking, or how the programming of events in theaters has set the tone and trend to increase attendance. On the distribution front, the session will discuss whether the market\u2019s segmentation will kick-start the birth of creative segmentation to cater to different audiences. Ultimately, it will delve into the various trends and challenges filmmakers face when having to choose between cinema releases or releasing their work on digital streaming platforms, and how this affects the current distribution chronology in a film\u2019s lifespan.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-1a4abd2 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"1a4abd2\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;tmea_shape_divider_top&quot;:&quot;none&quot;,&quot;tmea_shape_divider_bottom&quot;:&quot;none&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-d9f7e2c\" data-id=\"d9f7e2c\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-cd972e1 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"cd972e1\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h4 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Panelists<\/h4>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0bd2c63 elementor-widget elementor-widget-raven-advanced-accordion\" data-id=\"0bd2c63\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;collapsible&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;scroll_to_content&quot;:&quot;false&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"raven-advanced-accordion.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"jupiterx-advanced-accordion-wrapper\" class=\"jupiterx-advanced-accordion-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"jupiterx-advanced-accordion-inner-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"jupiterx-single-advanced-accordion-wrapper  jx-ac-first  jx-ac-inactive\" id=\"\" >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"jx-single-accordion-header\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"jx-single-accordion-header-left\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"jx-single-accordion-header-icon-toggle-wrapper jx-single-accordion-header-icon-toggle-wrapper-hide\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"jx-ac-title\">GIOVANNI DOLCI  | Global Chief Sales Officer \u2013 IMAX <\/span>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"jx-single-accordion-header-right\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"jx-ac-icon-body-closed jx-ac-toggle-icon fas fa-chevron-right\"><\/i><i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"jx-ac-icon-body-opened jx-ac-toggle-icon fas fa-chevron-down\"><\/i>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"jx-single-accordion-body  jx-ac-body-none\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"jx-ac-content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"jx-ac-content-inner-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"jupiterx-ac-content-is-editor\"><p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" class=\"size-full wp-image-37496 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/redseafilmfest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/1_Giovanni-Dolci.jpg\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/redseafilmfest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/1_Giovanni-Dolci.jpg 300w, https:\/\/redseafilmfest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/1_Giovanni-Dolci-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/redseafilmfest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/1_Giovanni-Dolci-200x200.jpg 200w, https:\/\/redseafilmfest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/1_Giovanni-Dolci-90x90.jpg 90w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>Giovanni Dolci joined IMAX Corporation in October 2012 and serves as Global Chief Sales Officer since 2021.

Whether they\u2019re related films in succession\u00a0sharing the same fictional universe, marketed as a movie series or conceived as a multiple-film work, franchises hold historical significance and exert undeniable influence on audiences, filmmakers, and the industry. Yet, the ongoing debate questions whether franchises enhance or alter cinema as an art form, and if they reflect endless or limited storytelling capacity. This session delves into the multifaceted world of film franchises as a cinematic phenomenon &#8211; especially in KSA &#8211; exploring the origin and growth of iconic titles; the creative challenges and opportunities in serialized storytelling; the role of technology in shaping franchise development; the financial motivations driving this craze; and the complex interplay between intellectual property, licensing, and creative development. The discussion also addresses the delicate balance of maintaining brand identity while fostering innovation within established universes. Additionally, it will explore the profound influence of franchises on audience expectations, examining how fan engagement contributes to ongoing success and sustainability, elevating characters as brands yet scrambling the status of the movie star. Speakers will share their respective experience in major IPs, from \u2018\u2019The Equalizer\u2019\u2019 and \u2018\u2019Star Wars\u2019\u2019 to the Warner Bros. slate of tentpole titles, offering perspectives on the artistic and commercial dimensions of franchises, and challenging the perceived dichotomy between art and commerce. Ultimately, the session will contemplate the future of film franchises: will we ever witness the emergence of an Arab Batman or Superman, further pushing the boundaries and possibilities of these iconic characters in a global context?<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-abb4e0d elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"abb4e0d\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;tmea_shape_divider_top&quot;:&quot;none&quot;,&quot;tmea_shape_divider_bottom&quot;:&quot;none&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-e656bb7\" data-id=\"e656bb7\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ca63970 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"ca63970\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h4 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Panelists<\/h4>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-de64ade elementor-widget elementor-widget-raven-advanced-accordion\" data-id=\"de64ade\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;collapsible&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;scroll_to_content&quot;:&quot;false&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"raven-advanced-accordion.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"jupiterx-advanced-accordion-wrapper\" class=\"jupiterx-advanced-accordion-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"jupiterx-advanced-accordion-inner-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"jupiterx-single-advanced-accordion-wrapper  jx-ac-first  jx-ac-inactive\" id=\"\" >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"jx-single-accordion-header\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"jx-single-accordion-header-left\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"jx-single-accordion-header-icon-toggle-wrapper jx-single-accordion-header-icon-toggle-wrapper-hide\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"jx-ac-title\">FAISAL BALTYUOR  | Founder &amp; CEO \u2013 CineWaves Films (KSA)<\/span>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"jx-single-accordion-header-right\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"jx-ac-icon-body-closed jx-ac-toggle-icon fas fa-chevron-right\"><\/i><i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"jx-ac-icon-body-opened jx-ac-toggle-icon fas fa-chevron-down\"><\/i>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"jx-single-accordion-body  jx-ac-body-none\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"jx-ac-content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"jx-ac-content-inner-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"jupiterx-ac-content-is-editor\"><p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" class=\"size-full wp-image-37516 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/redseafilmfest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/1_Faisal-Baltyuor.jpg\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/redseafilmfest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/1_Faisal-Baltyuor.jpg 300w, https:\/\/redseafilmfest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/1_Faisal-Baltyuor-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/redseafilmfest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/1_Faisal-Baltyuor-200x200.jpg 200w, https:\/\/redseafilmfest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/1_Faisal-Baltyuor-90x90.jpg 90w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>Baltyuor has been a Saudi film producer and director since 2004.

This panel tackles the market\u2019s realities &#8211; with a particular focus on the Arab world and KSA &#8211; where the theatrical experience is regularly being reshaped to secure a more lasting model. Use cases include how the IMAX technology has revolutionized the experience for movie-goers, how streaming and theatrical can be complementary endeavors to support independent filmmaking, or how the programming of events in theaters has set the tone and trend to increase attendance. On the distribution front, the session will discuss whether the market\u2019s segmentation will kick-start the birth of creative segmentation to cater to different audiences. Ultimately, it will delve into the various trends and challenges filmmakers face when having to choose between cinema releases or releasing their work on digital streaming platforms, and how this affects the current distribution chronology in a film\u2019s lifespan.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-1a4abd2 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"1a4abd2\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;tmea_shape_divider_top&quot;:&quot;none&quot;,&quot;tmea_shape_divider_bottom&quot;:&quot;none&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-d9f7e2c\" data-id=\"d9f7e2c\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-cd972e1 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"cd972e1\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h4 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Panelists<\/h4>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0bd2c63 elementor-widget elementor-widget-raven-advanced-accordion\" data-id=\"0bd2c63\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;collapsible&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;scroll_to_content&quot;:&quot;false&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"raven-advanced-accordion.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"jupiterx-advanced-accordion-wrapper\" class=\"jupiterx-advanced-accordion-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"jupiterx-advanced-accordion-inner-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"jupiterx-single-advanced-accordion-wrapper  jx-ac-first  jx-ac-inactive\" id=\"\" >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"jx-single-accordion-header\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"jx-single-accordion-header-left\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"jx-single-accordion-header-icon-toggle-wrapper jx-single-accordion-header-icon-toggle-wrapper-hide\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"jx-ac-title\">GIOVANNI DOLCI  | Global Chief Sales Officer \u2013 IMAX <\/span>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"jx-single-accordion-header-right\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"jx-ac-icon-body-closed jx-ac-toggle-icon fas fa-chevron-right\"><\/i><i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"jx-ac-icon-body-opened jx-ac-toggle-icon fas fa-chevron-down\"><\/i>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"jx-single-accordion-body  jx-ac-body-none\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"jx-ac-content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"jx-ac-content-inner-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"jupiterx-ac-content-is-editor\"><p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" class=\"size-full wp-image-37496 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/redseafilmfest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/1_Giovanni-Dolci.jpg\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/redseafilmfest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/1_Giovanni-Dolci.jpg 300w, https:\/\/redseafilmfest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/1_Giovanni-Dolci-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/redseafilmfest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/1_Giovanni-Dolci-200x200.jpg 200w, https:\/\/redseafilmfest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/1_Giovanni-Dolci-90x90.jpg 90w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>Giovanni Dolci joined IMAX Corporation in October 2012 and serves as Global Chief Sales Officer since 2021.

Whether they\u2019re related films in succession\u00a0sharing the same fictional universe, marketed as a movie series or conceived as a multiple-film work, franchises hold historical significance and exert undeniable influence on audiences, filmmakers, and the industry. Yet, the ongoing debate questions whether franchises enhance or alter cinema as an art form, and if they reflect endless or limited storytelling capacity. This session delves into the multifaceted world of film franchises as a cinematic phenomenon &#8211; especially in KSA &#8211; exploring the origin and growth of iconic titles; the creative challenges and opportunities in serialized storytelling; the role of technology in shaping franchise development; the financial motivations driving this craze; and the complex interplay between intellectual property, licensing, and creative development. The discussion also addresses the delicate balance of maintaining brand identity while fostering innovation within established universes. Additionally, it will explore the profound influence of franchises on audience expectations, examining how fan engagement contributes to ongoing success and sustainability, elevating characters as brands yet scrambling the status of the movie star. Speakers will share their respective experience in major IPs, from \u2018\u2019The Equalizer\u2019\u2019 and \u2018\u2019Star Wars\u2019\u2019 to the Warner Bros. slate of tentpole titles, offering perspectives on the artistic and commercial dimensions of franchises, and challenging the perceived dichotomy between art and commerce. Ultimately, the session will contemplate the future of film franchises: will we ever witness the emergence of an Arab Batman or Superman, further pushing the boundaries and possibilities of these iconic characters in a global context?<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-abb4e0d elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"abb4e0d\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;tmea_shape_divider_top&quot;:&quot;none&quot;,&quot;tmea_shape_divider_bottom&quot;:&quot;none&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-e656bb7\" data-id=\"e656bb7\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ca63970 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"ca63970\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h4 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Panelists<\/h4>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-de64ade elementor-widget elementor-widget-raven-advanced-accordion\" data-id=\"de64ade\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;collapsible&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;scroll_to_content&quot;:&quot;false&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"raven-advanced-accordion.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"jupiterx-advanced-accordion-wrapper\" class=\"jupiterx-advanced-accordion-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"jupiterx-advanced-accordion-inner-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"jupiterx-single-advanced-accordion-wrapper  jx-ac-first  jx-ac-inactive\" id=\"\" >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"jx-single-accordion-header\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"jx-single-accordion-header-left\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"jx-single-accordion-header-icon-toggle-wrapper jx-single-accordion-header-icon-toggle-wrapper-hide\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"jx-ac-title\">FAISAL BALTYUOR  | Founder &amp; CEO \u2013 CineWaves Films (KSA)<\/span>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"jx-single-accordion-header-right\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"jx-ac-icon-body-closed jx-ac-toggle-icon fas fa-chevron-right\"><\/i><i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"jx-ac-icon-body-opened jx-ac-toggle-icon fas fa-chevron-down\"><\/i>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"jx-single-accordion-body  jx-ac-body-none\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"jx-ac-content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"jx-ac-content-inner-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"jupiterx-ac-content-is-editor\"><p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" class=\"size-full wp-image-37516 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/redseafilmfest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/1_Faisal-Baltyuor.jpg\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/redseafilmfest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/1_Faisal-Baltyuor.jpg 300w, https:\/\/redseafilmfest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/1_Faisal-Baltyuor-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/redseafilmfest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/1_Faisal-Baltyuor-200x200.jpg 200w, https:\/\/redseafilmfest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/1_Faisal-Baltyuor-90x90.jpg 90w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>Baltyuor has been a Saudi film producer and director since 2004.
