The Qisah International Film Festival is an exciting showcase of cinema from across the Muslim world with films from Africa, the Balkans, the Far East, South Asia, as well as the Middle East and the Muslim diaspora in the West.

Qisah is delighted to announce that the British Film Institute is providing financial support to the festival. The festival, to be held in London, is the first film festival exclusively devoted to films from both Muslim countries and the Muslim diaspora in the West and elsewhere

Qisah is open to filmmakers of all religious denominations and aims to celebrate the emergence of cinema from a wide range of regions and cultures to show the diversity and complexity of the Muslim world. From countries and regions with established film making tradition to new creative hubs the festival will display the talent and creativity of filmmakers and emerging industries.
