In a pioneering initiative, the Arab Fund for Arts and Culture, in collaboration with the ‘Netflix Fund for Creative Equity,’ has unveiled a series of workshops entitled ‘Women in Film: Introduction to the Creative Process.’ This visionary program aims to provide an entry point into the world of filmmaking for aspiring women, fostering a new wave of talent in the industry.
A total of 45 young women, carefully selected for their passion and potential, were set to embark on this transformative journey. The comprehensive training program span across vibrant film hubs in Cairo, Dubai, and Jeddah, offering participants a unique opportunity to delve into the intricacies of filmmaking.
The series culminated in an inspiring visit to the Netflix Production Hub in Madrid, where the participants gained valuable insights into the best practices of the filmmaking industry. This immersive experience aimed to equip these emerging talents with the knowledge and skills needed to navigate the dynamic landscape of cinema.
The ‘Women in Film’ workshop series not only reflected a commitment to diversity and inclusivity but also addresses the need for more female voices in the film industry. By bridging the gap and providing hands-on training, the initiative strives to empower the next generation of women filmmakers, fostering a creative environment where their talents can thrive.
