The third edition of the Red Sea International Film Festival has attracted film stars and industry professionals to showcase and participate in films that combine fantasy, romance, and action. Arab films have been particularly popular with festival-goers, including 'Hojun', the opening film of the festival, which tells the story of a relationship between humans and genies in a romantic frame. The film is directed by Yasser Al-Yasiri and stars Nora Al-Khudairi. It is set to be released commercially on January 4th in several Arab countries. Hojun is an adaption of a Saudi novel by Ibrahim Abbas that explores a world where genies live among humans in disguise. The plot centers around Hojun's world being turned upside down when a human family moves into his family's home. Despite their differences, Hojun becomes increasingly drawn to the beautiful genie Sawsan, played by Nora Al-Khudairi, and the film looks at whether or not the two worlds can coexist. Overall, the festival has provided audiences with a diverse range of Arab films, and there's been much discussion around the festival's films and their themes.
