Antoine Khalife, Director of Arab Programs & Film Classics for the RedSeaIFF, said: “Arab directors take us through their films to extraordinary countries that help the characters to better understand values, whether it is the green mountains of Lebanon, or the Atlas Mountains in Morocco, passing through the beauty of the Saudi deserts or recently explored urban areas in Kuwait. Each of these mainstream films will make local audiences dream, cry, laugh and love, through funny, tender, and romantic characters”.
