These facilities are designed to provide filmmakers with a fully integrated environment that enhances creativity and elevates production quality.
A central goal of Qiddiya Studios is to attract global production companies, foster international collaborations, and empower Saudi talent by giving them access to cutting-edge technology and hands-on training opportunities. This initiative is expected to accelerate the development of Saudi filmmaking capabilities across writing, directing, cinematography, post-production, and distribution.
The project aligns with the Kingdom’s vision to strengthen its creative industries, diversify economic opportunities, and establish a dynamic film ecosystem that supports innovation and talent development. With its modern infrastructure and the natural diversity of filming locations in the Kingdom, Qiddiya is poised to become a film-production destination capable of competing on an international scale.
Industry experts view the studios as a turning point for the Saudi film sector, offering both the technical capacity and the creative environment needed to attract high-profile global productions. The project is also expected to generate new job opportunities, stimulate the entertainment economy, and contribute to a strong and sustainable cinematic value chain within the Kingdom.
