In an interview with Deutsche Welle, I discussed the introduction of cinemas in Saudi Arabia and their significance for Saudi society. The opening of cinemas in Saudi Arabia symbolizes a major step toward cultural modernization and has sparked varied reactions across the country.

The conversation highlighted the transformative changes taking place in Saudi Arabia. The reopening of cinemas in 2017, a key part of cultural modernization in Saudi Arabia, reflects the nation’s broader ambitions. While some citizens embrace this cultural openness, others view it with skepticism.

Yet, the cinema industry’s development underscores a new era of progress and aligns with Saudi Arabia's vision for cultural and economic diversification.

The impact of cinemas in Saudi Arabia extends beyond entertainment. This cultural shift is pivotal for strengthening international relations and enhancing the Saudi Arabia’s regional influence.

As Saudi society continues to adapt to these changes, the long-term effects on the nation’s cultural and economic landscape will be fascinating to watch.
