Made in Qatar Film Programme I

Once again, the Ajyal Youth Film Festival is pleased to celebrate the exciting state of filmmaking at home with our annual slate of work made right here in Qatar. This year, we present two programmes of shorts, including narratives, documentaries, thoughtful essays. The films were made independently, through Qatar University or Northwestern University in Qatar, or with the support of Doha Film Institute’s workshops and funding programmes.
