Exclusive: Cercamon has acquired international sales rights for Saudi director Tawfik Alzaidi’s first feature Norah ahead of its world premiere in the Cannes Film Festival’s Un Certain Regard.
Norah will make history in May as the first ever Saudi feature to play in Cannes’ Official Selection. The achievement comes six years after Saudi Arabia announced the end of its 35-year cinema ban and is a sign of the bubbling cinema scene that has sprung up since.
Set in Saudi Arabia in the 1990s when artistic expression was banned, the feature follows rookie teacher and clandestine artist Nader, who is sent to a remote village for his first post where he connects with a young woman, whose life has been stifled by the era of conservatism.
She ignites the creativity inside him and inspires him to paint again. At great risk, they develop a delicate connection and a quiet bond.

A legal battle over ownership of WallStreetBets, known for igniting the memestock craze of 2021, presented the court with a question at the intersection of social media and intellectual property rights: Is the trademark owned by the platform or the individual who created the online community that popularized the mark?
The answer to that question appears to be the platform, at least in the case of r/WallStreetBets founder Jaime Rogozinski, who sued Reddit for infringing on his trademarks. U.S. District Judge Maxine Chesney, in an order issued Jan. 12, backed Reddit’s ownership of intellectual property representing the online forum since the company was the first to use the marks.
As personal brands are increasingly monetized on social media, the ruling could warn creators that they may not own or even have a say in management of intellectual property they may have developed. This could especially be true when it concerns a platform like Reddit,...

Chesney’s “Sun Goes Down” 2024 tour will welcome the Zac Brown Band, Megan Moroney and Uncle Kracker to the stages next summer.

Dubai-based distributor Front Row Filmed Entertainment has acquired Middle East and North Africa (Mena) region distribution rights to groundbreaking Saudi drama “Norah,” which world premiered in competition at the Red Sea Film Festival.
Directed by pioneering Saudi director Tawfik Alzaidi, making his feature film debut, “Norah” is set in 1990s Saudi Arabia, when conservatism was at its height and all forms of art and painting were banned for religion-related reasons.
The film’s titular character, played by Saudi newcomer Maria Bahrawi, is an illiterate orphaned young woman who lives in a remote village where she faces an arranged marriage in which she will be trapped and has a need for self expression. She intersects with an artist named Nader, played by Saudi star Yaqoub Alfarhan (“Rashash”), who has given up painting and moved to the village to be a schoolteacher. This chaste encounter unleashes in “Norah” a passion for art and,...

Just a few weeks ahead of Saudi Arabia’s Red Sea Film Festival in Jeddah, it was unveiled that a new regional distributor and sales operation was launching.
Riyadh-based TwentyOne Entertainment, led by British former Universal and Disney executive Paul Chesney, would be coming to the festival with its first acquisition, Red Sea competition entry Norah, the debut feature from Saudi writer-director Tawfik Alzaidi. The film, set in 1990s Saudi Arabia, also marks the first feature to be shot entirely in the country’s AlUla region.
Hot on the heels of this announcement, Chesney unveiled his new Saudi production operation, Red Palm Pictures, which would work under the same umbrella as TwentyOne. Doubling down on its commitment to Alzaidi, Red Palm launched with a multi-picture deal with the filmmaker and a new project in Thuraya, an action and adventure drama that he’s set to write and direct.

Today’s country artists love to namecheck icons like Hank Williams, Johnny Cash, and Waylon Jennings in their songs and during interviews. But sonically, they owe their greatest debt to Jimmy Buffett, whose tropical vibes, beachy imagery, and ocean escapism has shaped the last two decades of mainstream country. Buffett died Friday at 76, leaving an undeniable legacy that is still heard in the songs of country radio and warrants future induction into the Country Music Hall of Fame.

As the world mourns the loss of Jimmy Buffett, celebrities have been taking to social media to pay tribute to the “Margaritaville” singer, who died Friday at age 76.
Among those honouring Buffett is Elton John, who praised Buffett in a post he shared on Instagram Story.

“Jimmy Buffett was a unique and treasured entertainer. His fans adored him and he never let them down,” wrote Sir Elton. “This is the saddest of news. A lovely man gone way too soon. Condolences to [Buffett’s wife] Jane and the family from David and me.”
Kenny Chesney — who enlisted Buffett for a duet on his “Trying to Reason with Hurricane Season” on Chesney’s 2018 album, Songs for the Saints, and also appeared on Buffett’s 2004 album License to Chill — shared a video on Instagram, in which he’s sitting on a beach strumming a guitar while singing...

Jimmy Buffett, who died Friday, was remembered today by his famous friends as the quintessential songwriter, an artist whose work ran deeper than the popular images of lazy days on the beach.
Kenny Chesney, who had Buffett join him on a remake of Buffett’s “Trying to Reason with Hurricane Season” on Chesney’s 2018 album, Songs for the Saints, posted a video Saturday morning. He remembered Buffett with a rendition from the beach in Key West, Florida, singing Buffett’s song A Pirate Looks at Forty” on Instagram.

Kenny Chesney, whose own beach-forward country songs owe a debt to the tropical vibes of Jimmy Buffett, paid tribute to the “Margaritaville” songwriter with a solo performance of “A Pirate Looks at Forty.” Buffett died Friday at 76.
Seated on some island beach before dawn with only his guitar, Chesney sings the first verse and chorus of Buffett’s reflective 1974 ballad about a life well lived. At the end, he looks at the camera, blows a kiss, and says, “We miss you, Jimmy Buffett. Thank you for your friendship.”

Keith Gattis, a Nashville songwriter, producer, and solo artist who had his songs recorded by Kenny Chesney and George Strait and who produced Randy Houser’s Americana pivot, Magnolia, has died at 52. A source close to Gattis confirmed his death on Sunday to Rolling Stone.

Kenny Chesney is mourning the loss of a fan following an incident at his recent show.
