The Saudi Film Commission announced the commencement of the second edition of the International Film Criticism Conference in Riyadh, running from November 6 to 10, 2024. The conference is distinguished by a vast presence of international filmmakers, critics, and cinephiles.
The second edition of the Film Criticism Conference is held under the theme “Sound in Cinema”, to explore the various impacts of sound on the film experience and its influence on the film industry. The discussions will cover different elements such as film scores, sound effects, and nature sounds. The conference will also include workshops, film screenings, and interactive exhibits.
The ceremony also included a speech by prominent Saudi director, Mr. Abdullah Al-Mohaisen, who stated: “Film criticism relies on sentient, honest, and purposeful criticism. It is the dynamic driver of development and creativity for the director. Cinema is and will always be a message before being anything else.” Al-Mohaisen’s speech was followed by a screening of the film “Assassination of a City”, a pioneering Saudi documentary that won several international awards. A follow-up discussion was held between the director and moderated by film critics Ahmad Shawqi and Ahmad Alayyad.
The International Film Criticism Conference is organized by the Saudi Film Commission. Prior to this conference, two other film criticism events were held this year, Hail on September 27 and Al-Ahsa on October 25.
