RIYADH: The Saudi Film Commission has joined the Asian Film Commissions Network to foster international collaboration and knowledge exchange.
Founded in 2004, the nonprofit network includes more than 50 members from 19 Asian countries and regions, comprising film commissions, production offices and related organizations.
The membership highlights the commission’s work to support local and regional film projects, encourage co-productions and promote the Kingdom’s film industry, according to the Saudi Press Agency.
The commission aims to create new opportunities for filmmakers by providing platforms to showcase their work, supporting distribution channels and offering competitive incentives, the SPA added.
In June 2024, the commission also joined the Association of Film Commissioners International to boost Saudi Arabia’s presence in the global film industry and promote collaboration among production companies.
