Saudi Arabia’s film producer Mohammed Al-Turki will receive the Philanthropic Leadership Award at the upcoming amfAR gala event in Venice on Sept. 1.
Al-Turki held the CEO of the Red Sea Film Foundation that has greatly supported the amfAR’s work for many years and exerted a lot of efforts to advance their lifesaving research.
The brilliant producer will receive the award as a recognition for his contributions to both the film industry and charitable activities.
“Thanks in part to his leadership, @RedseaFilm Festival has been a generous supporter of amfAR’s work for many years and has helped advance our lifesaving research,” the organization said in a statement on Instagram.

“I feel very humbled and very appreciative, I believe so much in amfAR’s work and will do whatever I can until there is a cure for HIV and AIDS, which is apparent more than ever right now,” Al-Turki wrote on Instagram.
amfAR, the Foundation for AIDS Research, is an international nonprofit organization established to support AIDS research, HIV prevention, and the advocacy of AIDS-related public policy.
“Getting the Philanthropic Leadership Award is an honor that is surreal. I am honored to share this moment in Venice with my film and chosen family (and) a true icon the one and only Mr. Richard Gere who will receive amfAR’s Award of Inspiration,” Al-Turki added.
