The festival’s selection included 16 features, 18 short films and 21 virtual reality experiences in a celebration of innovative films from established and emerging filmmakers from the Arab world and Africa.
This year’s jury included Italian director and writer Guiseppe Tornatore, who was President of the Red Sea Features competition, Tunisian actress Hend Sabry, Palestinian-American multi-hypenate Cherien Dabis, Mexican festival director and founder of the Morelia International Film Festival Daniela Michel and Saudi film director Abdulaziz Alshlahei.
The Red Sea Shorts Competition Jury was headed by Egyptian director Marwan Hamed and joined by Saudi Arabian actress and director Ahd Kamel and Finnish-Somali director and writer Khadar Ayderus. “The nominees showcased an incredible range of talent across a diverse and fascinating breadth of themes,” said Tornatore. “This has been an extraordinary experience.

The quality of the nominated films made many of our decisions very difficult.
