Hayy Cinema at Hayy Jameel has become a distinctive cultural platform that reimagines the act of watching film as a vibrant cultural experience rather than a passive screening, according to the Saudi Press Agency.
The experience brings together cinema, education, and dialogue into a shared space of discovery, where audiences do not just view stories, but interact with them.
In April, the cinematic program showcased a thoughtfully curated selection of films that addressed several themes including memory, resilience, and solidarity.
The program featured an extraordinary blend between contemporary voices and classic international cinema.
The program also involved a wide range of unique initiatives, most notably “Rendezvous with French Cinema,” a film club that combines film screenings with engaged learning.
Furthermore, it hosted an Italian Film Night, celebrating Italy’s rich artistic and cinematic heritage.
Through this showcase, the program further boosts the presence of international cinema within the local cultural scene.
Apart from this, Hayy Cinema introduced a selection of student film screenings, an initiative designed to empower emerging voices in filmmaking.
These initiatives reflect Hayy Cinema’s commitment to developing a dynamic cinematic culture by offering curating programs that significantly blends entertainment with knowledge, while promoting an interactive film community.
