Hayy Classics: An Experience from Jeddah’s Past Join us at Hayy Cinema for a nostalgic experience of Jeddah’s cinematic and cultural past. Relive the charm of outdoor cinemas as we showcase classic films on a 35mm projector under the stars at Saha. Outdoor cinemas first emerged in Jeddah in the early 1960s, bringing communities together to enjoy a vibrant mix of international and Arab films. In addition to the screenings, join us for related workshops and panel discussions. Let’s celebrate this timeless tradition with an unforgettable night of cinema classics! This programme is with the support of the Saudi Film Commission . A tale of despair and redemption in 1980s Egypt The Breakdown (1982): Sami, whose wife Madiha accidentally kills a bystander while driving her car, claims to be the culprit to clear his wife. After he discovers Madiha has betrayed him, Sami retracts his words, but to no avail, and is sentenced to jail for three years.
