Film Criticism Conference

Chief Curator

Jeddah, Dhahran, Abha, Tabuk, Buraidah, Riyadh, 2023

I served as Chief Curator of the Film Criticism Forum (FCF), a national initiative launched by the Saudi Film Commission, where I led a year‑long program across five cities combining screenings, talks, critics’ panels, installations, workshops, and new commissions. I developed the Forum’s foundational vision and strategy and curated its inaugural Beyond the Frame conference and exhibition in Riyadh. Drawing on my deep knowledge of Saudi culture and global cinema, I shaped programming that introduced film criticism and media literacy to diverse audiences while supporting the professional growth of filmmakers and critics within the Kingdom’s expanding film culture.
