Saudi Dark Comedy Thriller 'Saify' to Screen in London on June 25th

'Saify', a Saudi dark comedy-thriller by director and writer Wael Abumansour, will screen at the Institute of Contemporary Arts (ICA) in London on Wednesday 25 June at 18:30.

Set in 2000s Jeddah, the film follows a washed-up scammer whose latest blackmail scheme spirals out of control after he stumbles across a scandalous tape. What begins as a quick score soon unravels into a tense and unpredictable chain of events, blurring the lines between morality, power, and survival.

Starring Baraa Alem, Husam AlHarthi, and Nour Alkhadra, 'Saify' captures a city caught between tradition and rapid change, offering a sharp portrait of social dynamics in the early 21st-century Gulf.
The screening is part of a growing international presence for contemporary Saudi cinema. Free tickets are available for media and invited guests.
