Nordic cinema and culture celebrated in Riyadh

RIYADH: Scandinavian culture is coming to Riyadh with the launch of a week-long festival of some of the region’s latest films.

Four movies from Norway, Sweden, Denmark and Finland are to be screened in Saudi cinemas next week for this year’s Nordic Week. A cookery class is also being planned to let Saudis try some of the region’s best food.

The Norwegian Embassy in Riyadh hosted the launch of the week with guests at a get-together on Nov. 10.
