The Red Sea International Film Festival (RSIFF) is set to host its fourth edition in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia from December 5 to 14. The festival brings together special guests from around the world to share their experiences, passions, and stories with fans, film lovers, and industry professionals through sessions like In Conversation With and Souk Talents. Every year, the festival chooses a special theme focused on film and culture, turning it into a fresh hub for Arab and international cinema. With vibrant, diverse programs tailored for different audiences, there’s something for everyone.
The RSIFF has announced two famous actors who will be honoured at the festival’s grand opening ceremony – Indian cinema legend Aamir Khan (Dangal) and Oscar nominee Emily Blunt (Oppenheimer). They will be celebrated on the opening night, alongside Egyptian actress Mona Zaki (Flight 404, Abserb: The Squadron). The actors are being honoured for their successful careers and significant contributions to the film industry. Another honoree, Viola Davis (The Woman King, Fences), will receive her award at the ceremony on December 12.
Khan and Blunt will also join the festival’s In Conversation With sessions, where notable guests share insights about their work and inspirations. Other speakers include Eva Longoria (Only Murders in the Building), Andrew Garfield (The Social Network, tick, tick…BOOM!) and Ranbir Kapoor (Animal).
“We’re excited to honour Aamir Khan and Emily Blunt at our opening night. This is a wonderful opportunity to celebrate their incredible achievements and learn more about their inspiring journeys during our In Conversation sessions.”
– Jomana Al-Rashid, Chairwoman of the Red Sea Film Foundation
