RED SEA FUND OPENS APPLICATIONS FOR CYCLE 1 OF 2025 POST-PRODUCTION GRANTS, AND EXPANDS TO ASIA FOR THE FIRST TIME

The Red Sea Fund, a program under the Red Sea Film Foundation, has opened submissions for post-production projects in the first cycle of the year, running from February 6 to February 27, 2025.

For the first time, the Fund is now accepting submissions from Asia, welcoming voices from the continent to apply alongside storytellers from Saudi Arabia, Africa, and the Arab world.

Shivani Pandya Malhotra, Red Sea Film Foundation Managing Director, remarked: “The Red Sea Fund champions projects across stages and cycles, providing financial grants that bring bold ideas to life. Our expansion into Asia reflects our commitment to talents and stories that are often underrepresented, providing filmmakers with an avenue to execute their vision and reach the world.”

Established in 2021, the Red Sea Fund has supported 280+ projects. Several former recipients have gone on to earn global recognition and accolades.

The first cycle of 2025 is open to a range of post-production projects, including feature-length fiction, documentary, or animation films.
