In this episode, Eric Mika, Founder and Publisher of The Film Verdict, sits down with award-winning filmmaker Hamzah Jamjoom, a leading voice in Saudi Arabia's emerging film industry.
Once a country with virtually no local film culture, Saudi Arabia is now witnessing a cinematic renaissance fueled by ambitious government initiatives and international interest. But as the industry grows, so do questions about its identity, direction, and global perception.
Drawing on Jamjoom's extensive first-hand experience, the latest episode of Publisher's Verdict features a conversation exploring the opportunities and challenges shaping Saudi cinema today, from navigating cultural authenticity and collaboration, to pushing back against Hollywood's long-standing stereotypes of Arab characters.
