- Sean Baker will serve as president of the 5th annual Red Sea Film Festival from Dec. 4 to 13.

- He released this statement:

“It’s an honor to serve as jury president for the Red Sea International Film Festival this year, taking the baton from Spike Lee. I’ve long admired (op note: is 5 years a long time, Sean?) how the festival champions bold, diverse voices from across the globe, and this year’s Feature Competition showcases some of the most daring and exciting new voices from the Arab world, Africa and Asia. Festivals like Red Sea IFF give independent films a vital platform and connect them with a global audience, I’m thrilled to be part of that celebration of cinema and look forward to engaging with the incredible titles in the competition lineup.”
