OFFSCREEN EXPEDITIONS: JOURNEY TO SAUDI ARABIA

Film 04: Challenging the Stereotypes of Saudi

Ridiculously wealthy, arrogant mindsets and a backward culture. Is this really true? Or will this journey open Awais’s eyes to things that go beyond the headlines?

Arabia Offscreen, an international creative competition attracted more than 500 entries from talented young artists, designers, film-makers, and photographers, aged 18-25, in the United Kingdom, Egypt, Malaysia, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates.

The winning team traveled around Saudi Arabia to create an artistic portrait of the Kingdom to be shared with youth audiences from around the world. From the mountains of Aseer to the new cities rising out of the desert, the young artists were given unprecedented access to one of the most fascinating and inspiring cultures in the world.
