Saudi Arabia and China Launch Cultural Award and Film Industry Partnership

Saudi Arabia and China Launch Cultural Award and Film Industry Partnership

The Saudi Ministry of Culture introduced the Prince Mohammed bin Salman Award for Cultural Cooperation between Saudi Arabia and China on Thursday.
The goal is to recognize and fund researchers, artists, and translators from both countries, fostering collaboration and creative exchange.

The award consists of several categories, including cultural research, artistic works, translations, and cultural personalities of the year from each country.

Additionally, there are categories for young researchers, creators, and translators to encourage youth involvement in cross-cultural communication.

An annual award ceremony will be held to recognize cultural achievements and winners in academic, cultural, media, literary, and artistic fields from Saudi Arabia and China.

The award aims to promote creative cooperation and cultural dialogue between the two countries.

Nominations can be submitted by individuals and institutions from both countries.

Saudi Culture Minister Prince Bader bin Abdullah stated that the award is essential for bridging cultural gaps and strengthening ties between China and Saudi Arabia through arts, literature, and academic research.

The ceremony will announce the winners in each category and honor the shared cultural talent of both nations.

A nomination form for an award will be available on the award website for submissions.

On the same day, the Saudi Film Commission signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with China's Bona Film Group to collaborate on movie distribution, exhibition, and talent development.

Bona Film Group, established in 1999, is a leading Chinese movie distribution and production company.

The signing ceremony in Beijing was attended by Prince Badr, Film Commission CEO Abdullah Al-Eyaf, and Bona Film Group CFO Qi Zhi.

The MoU includes investment in the film industry, potential creation of a joint film fund, and Saudi film distribution in China.

The text discusses a partnership between the Saudi Film Commission and Bona Film Group of China.

This collaboration aims to develop the Saudi film industry by producing movies, improving local production, and showcasing Saudi productions.

The agreement also focuses on talent development through Chinese film education institutions and promoting investment, content production, and regulatory frameworks.

The historic pact aligns with Saudi Vision 2030 objectives and fosters global partnerships and cultural exchanges.
