The founding story
Why Ajyal Al Fann exists
01
The gap
Saudi Arabia’s screen and entertainment sectors are growing faster than the pipeline of people trained to work in them. Productions arrive; the crews, writers and producers to staff them do not yet exist in the numbers required.
02
The response
Built by three founding companies and led by Saudi and international education and industry expertise, Ajyal Al Fann was created to develop institutions for the creative economy. Ajyal Film Academy is its flagship academy.
