Stories from the Muslim world

Qisah, meaning “story”, continues the rich history of storytelling in the Muslim world by showcasing films that explore the everyday struggles, hopes, and desires of people in Muslim countries. These films highlight the commonalities and differences of our shared human experience and visually display the cultural vibrancy of these societies.

Supported by the British Film Institute (BFI) Qisah provides a platform for film-makers who are producing new and exciting films about contemporary life to connect with audiences that seek films that represent their life-worlds.
