They then reassured all the film-making enthusiasts that the festival will indeed be rescheduled, saying: “We are confident that, in due course, the festival will be rescheduled and that we will be able to achieve all that we have planned and worked towards over the past 12-months.”
The festival added that it would announce new dates “as soon as feasible.”
“We remain optimistic, passionate, and committed to what this event means for Saudi Arabia, the Arab world, and the global film community and hope you can share in this outlook – despite the trying short-term situation,” the organizers stated.
