Red Sea Hires Fionnuala Halligan As Director Of International Programmes
Halligan replaces Kaleem Aftab, who stepped down late last year.
Her remit will include working alongside Director of Arab Programs and Film Classics Antoine Khalife to shape and curate the festival’s line-up. Shivani Pandya-Malhotra, Managing Director of the Red Sea Film Foundation, added: “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. We are so thrilled to have her joining us to head up our international offering, which has been a cornerstone of our festival and continues to gain prestige and stature on the global circuit with each edition.”
