The National Bank of Bahrain (NBB) supported the third edition of the Bahrain Film Festival as a strategic partner. The annual event, which ran from October 5-9, 2023, celebrated cinema, filmmakers and those involved in the wider film industry.

The event, which was founded to raise the kingdom’s profile as a regional cultural hub, drew actors, actresses, directors and producers from around the world in addition to leading figures from both the public and private sectors, media personalities and social media influencers.

This year’s festival focused on supporting Bahraini talent with a view to encouraging more young Bahrainis to enter the film and entertainment industries, and generating creative jobs within the kingdom.

NBB’s sponsorship of the festival reflects its longstanding commitment to facilitating cultural events in Bahrain in line with its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) promise, said a statement. It continues to work with communities and government ministries in supporting exciting national initiatives. – TradeArabia News Service
