The Muslim International Film Festival is set to showcase the best of creative endeavors from across the world in the capital London.

The event will bring a great opportunity for audiences to watch films whether they be fictional, factual or animation from talented Muslim filmmakers.
 
In a statement, the festival said: “At a time of polarized public opinion and a prevalence of negative portrayals of Muslims in the mainstream media, MIFF has arrived on the international film festival circuit with a mission to celebrate and amplify the diverse voices that explore the rich tapestry of Muslim experiences via the medium of film.”

Festival director Sajid Varda added: “The festival is … a vibrant celebration of cultures and stories from across the Muslim world, providing a spotlight on talented emerging and seasoned film-makers from all corners of the globe.”

The UK’s first major film festival dedicated to Muslim cinema announced its inaugural lineup on Tuesday, with a slew of award-winning films featuring the likes of Riz Ahmed and Informer’s Nabhaan Rizwan.

The Muslim international film festival runs from 30 May to 2 June at the Odeon West End in London.
