Fionnuala Halligan Appointed Red Sea Film Festival Director of International Programs
Fionnuala Halligan has been appointed as director of international programs at Saudi Arabia's Red Sea Film Festival.
Fionnuala will replace critic Kaleem Aftab who stepped down as the Red Sea fest’s director of international programming in March following a four-year stint. She will be working alongside Red Sea’s director of Arab programs and film classics Antoine Khalife to shape and curate the Jeddah-based fest’s line-up. “Finn has been a collaborator and supporter of ours from the beginning, and she has both impeccable taste and a deep appreciation for cinema from across the world – particularly in Asia, a region we’ve increasingly championed as an organisation as our remit broadens,” said Shivani Pandya-Malhotra, Managing Director of the Red Sea Film Foundation in a statement.
