This programme is supported by the Institut Francais and Cultural Department of the Consulate of France in Jeddah.
Hayy Cinema opened to the public on December 6, 2022, coinciding with Hayy Jameel’s one year anniversary.
Hayy Cinema expands the definition of cinema as a meeting point to watch, learn, exchange, discover and research; the complex includes a theatre, a community screening room, a multimedia library and an educational exhibition space. Via a year-round programme of films, as well as talks, exhibitions and film festivals held across its various community spaces, the cinema becomes a convivial site of convening, opening up a whole new world of storytelling and imagination.
Hayy Cinema’s opening programme, developed in collaboration with Red Sea International Film Festival, includes ‘As Seen’, a Gamal Fahmy archival exhibition.

Hayy Library and Hayy Archives
Alongside the retrospective is a thoroughly researched and rare archival exhibition that highlights renowned photographer Gamal Fahmy’s contribution to the revolutionary force of filmmaking in the region. The exhibition features never-before-seen photographs, a collection of personal items, vintage cameras, and various ephemera.
