Hyundai celebrates ‘Timeless Ramadan’ with short films

The first and second short films are now online.

Hyundai is taking people on a journey through a “timeless” Ramadan this holy month, in a series of short films being shared in Saudi Arabia.
The three films offer a sentimental view of some of the unchanging Ramadan traditions that pass down through families, creating everlasting memories of Saudi society that resonate across the years.
The stories catch simple moments during Ramadan, particularly those showing a spirit of sharing and giving.
Each film juxtaposes the past and the present in an attempt to show how some memories remain constant through the years.
As the films bring timeless Ramadan to life, we see that traditions passed to us from our grandparents and parents are passed to our children, forming a unique thread between generations.
“Ramadan is a special time for families in the Arab world, and with our Ramadan series for this year, we want to show that while many things in life will change, there are some special things that remain constant,” said Mike Song, Hyundai’s head of operations for Africa and the Middle East.
“It is this ‘timeless’ Ramadan that brings families together, and which crosses between generations to create moments that everyone, young and old, can share.”
This is the third year Hyundai in the Middle East has produced a short film series for Ramadan. In 2016, a series titled “Al-Barakah” followed the theme of Ramadan blessings. In 2017, “Ramadan Everywhere” visited various Arab countries to look at local Ramadan traditions.
The first and second stories are now online. The final story will be available at the time of Eid Al-Fitr.
