The Australian Muslim Film Festival “MFF” awaits you for 2 weekends of independent films made by Muslims, or telling stories about Muslims anywhere in the world, by anyone Muslim or non-Muslim!

Muslim Film Festival 2024 “MFF24” will be held in a theatre in Perth, Western Australia, and possibly in Melbourne or Sydney, as well online. We are aiming at early September 2024.

Our SIXTH annual event of MFF is open to feature films, short films, and animated films, fiction, or documentary, with local and international entries from anywhere around the world.

PLEASE NOTE: If your film is PRELIMINARY SELECTED and you DID NOT supply us with a DOWNLOADABLE COPIES OF:

1-your FIlm in FHD,
2- Trailer/ teaser
3- Poster

within ONE WEEK then your film might be DISQUALIFIED.

Films have no religion! we all use moving pictures as a medium to tell a story or pass a message or change the world around us to a better place. So MFF is not about religion, but about a vast group of people and communities who happen to be followers of the Islamic faith. Thereafter, the major criteria for entry are that films should be either:

* MADE BY MUSLIMS,
* MADE BY NON-MUSLIMS BUT TELLING STORIES ABOUT MUSLIMS,

However, the festival aims to promote the beautiful guidance, ethics and aims of Islam as well as inclusion, tolerance, friendship, and introduce Muslim society’s culture and stories to a wider audience. Our program will reflect the diversity and opportunities within Muslim communities in the West and all over the world, through fiction, animation, and documentary films and our goal is to show films that the audience would otherwise have not seen and left a lasting impact.

Our festival was founded to support and promote Muslim independent films from all around the world and will continue to do so.

We look forward to seeing your submissions and welcoming you to the sixth year of the Muslim Film Festival at early September 2024.

The official selection will be carefully picked by our panel of expert judges and will constitute the films nominated for an award. The films screened at the event will be selected from the official selection and promoted on our social media platforms and website, and the best ones will receive awards at the film festival in a range of categories. The winners will get our official laurels and will be featured on our Facebook page and website and in our media press releases.

1- Winner of the best feature drama film: $200+ laurel
2- Winner of the best short drama film: $200 + laurel
