Osama Al Khurayji’s AlUla-Shot ‘Siwar’ Set as Saudi Film Festival Opener
First-time director Osama Al Khurayji’s AlUla-shot drama 'Siwar' has been set as the upcoming Saudi Film Festival opener.
In “Siwar,” AlUla stands in for Najran, the city in southwestern Saudi Arabia near the Yemen border. The drama delves into the dynamics of how the lives of Yaner, a Turkish father played by Serkan Genç (“The Game-Hiyleger Axmaqlar”), and Hamad, a Saudi father played by Fhaid Bin Mohammed, intersect after their sons are swapped at birth. “Siwar” is produced by Omar Said, whose credits in the region include the groundbreaking Netflix Saudi original movie “Naga,” and Al Khurayji through his Riyadh-based Hakawati Entertainment shingle.
