Saudi Filmmaker Aymen Khoja On How To Build A Film Industry From Scratch

Streamlined is a bit late this week as I’m in Mumbai and spent most of last week bouncing off the back seat of taxis and rickshaws. I’m learning a lot here, but Mumbai traffic didn’t get any better during the pandemic (in fact seems to be much worse due to Metro and coastal road construction). I’m now very behind on deadlines, so alas, Streamlined will be taking a break for a few weeks while I catch up. For this week’s edition, I’m sharing an interview with Saudi filmmaker Aymen Khoja, who I first met in Cannes and caught up with again on Zoom a few weeks ago. I’ll share thoughts on India in Streamlined after the break. Everything has changed here, not necessarily for the better, and I need time to digest.
