Jeddah Film Festival canceled
Filed under NewsJul 19JEDDAH: The Jeddah Film Festival that was scheduled to open Saturday at King Abdul Aziz Cultural Center was canceled at the eleventh hour, literally.
Mamdouh Salem, director of the Jeddah Film Festival, confirmed the cancellation, saying that he received an official notice from the Jeddah governorate at 11 p.m. on Friday ordering the festival canceled and leaving many attendees who had already arrived at a loss of words.
Salem, who put the total cost of the festival at around SR200,000, said the cancellation came at the last moment just when everything was ready. The adjudicating panel, which consists of Omani director Khaled Al-Zajali, UAE writer Khaled Al-Bodour, Saudi producer Majdi Wadou and writer Halema Muzafar, had already started their work early Friday.
