The Bahrain Film Festival administration has announced the allocation of the Student Film Award in the name of the late Farid Ramadan.

The announcement of the festival’s first session results was postponed last year due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.

Instead, the organisers will make the announcement next month.

The festival management confirmed the change of the name of the Student Film Award to Unique Ramadan Award for Student Films to bear the name of the writer, scriptwriter and late producer, with the allocation of a financial reward worth BD1,000 to the winner provided by Nuran Pictures.

The films participating in the festival competition include five categories, namely short fictional films, documentaries, animation, films of the Center for Excellence for Women, and the Farid Ramadan Award for Student Films.

The festival management named Farid Ramadan on the first session of the festival in honour and appreciation of his role in the field of cinematic production, as he provided many film scripts and supported throughout his career many promising Bahraini energies in the Kingdom of Bahrain
