Ali Kalthami

Ali Kalthami Instagram – Introducing the incomparable Ali @Kalthami as the Cover Star of @EsquireSaudi Summer 2024!
.
Ali Kalthami is not your typical filmmaker. In a country where cinema was once a whispered dream, he’s become a pioneer. A director who not only navigated the nascent Saudi film industry, but actively shaped it.
.
His recent film @MandoobFilm has been a triumph success since it topped the regional Box Office earlier this year, and now, as the Riyadh-based thriller gets ready for global distribution, the measuring stick of where (and what) Saudi cinema can be seems to have no limits.
.
“‘Mandoob’ was the biggest accomplishment of my career, but it was also the riskiest. It was the kind of film that, if it failed, could have easily ended my career,” Kalthami tells @mrpeaker in a refreshingly open conversation.
