The event hosted 20+ panel discussions, 30 workshops, and 20 trainers, welcoming over 1,000 trainees from 35 countries, all under one roof to share knowledge and build the future of the industry 🌍 One of the most talked-about moments? The surprise visit of global star Johnny Depp, who praised Saudi’s rising film scene and its promising creative ecosystem, a clear nod to the Kingdom’s growing international influence in cinema 🎞️🔥

But beyond the numbers and headlines, the Saudi Film Forum marked something bigger, a new era of maturity for the local film industry, now a thriving platform connecting creatives, investors, and decision-makers from around the world.
