The inaugural Australian Muslim Film Festival will be two days of independent short films made by Muslims, or telling stories about Muslims, from all over in the world.
It includes short films, from local and international entrants as well as documentaries.
Festival founder Tarek Chamkhi says "the festival's aim is to promote inclusion, tolerance, friendship and introduce Muslim society, culture and stories to as wide an audience as possible. Our festival was founded to support and promote Muslim filmmakers and content creators across the world."
"Our program will reflect the diversity and opportunities within Muslim communities in the West and all over the world, through the short film genre, and our goal is to show films that the audience would otherwise have not seen, and leave a lasting impact."
The festival will take place on Saturday 7th September in Perth, and on Saturday the 14th in Melbourne, in the Backlot Theatres, located in the heart of Perth city, as well as in the cultural hub of Southbank, in Melbourne,
