Forty Years And One Night

Funded and endorsed by the Red Sea Film Festival, Forty Years And One Night (أربعون عاماً وليلة ) launched in July 2021 in cinemas across Saudi Arabia, with a limited debut in September as part of the RSFF’s Saudi Cinema Nights. The film recently bagged three awards at the Saudi Film Festival right before launch, including the Golden Palm and Best Actor Award for Mishal Almutairi’s performance.

As the exclusive publicity partner for the film, Junkset was tasked with hosting a press junket for key media in Saudi Arabia ahead of Saudi Cinema Nights. Our goal was to secure media coverage with region’s leading TV and News outlets, while also generating buzz for the film online.

The film became the highlight of the Saudi Cinema Nights event, with over 10 exclusive interviews airing on regional TV channels and news outlets, including MBC1’s Sabah Al Khair Ya Arab, ET Bil Arabi, Al Arabiya TV, and Al Ekhbariya, as well as Asharq Al Awsat, Sayidaty, and The National in the UAE.
