From 19 to 27 November 2026, Ajyal returns to the Doha Film Festival with two distinct programmes for young people aged 8 to 25. One immersive and festival-long, the other a focused three-day experience.
Ajyal Jury (Ages 16–25)
If you’re aged 16 to 25, you can take part in our Ajyal Jury, a full-festival-long immersive programme where you’ll watch a powerful selection of international films, join lively discussions, and vote for the official awards.

Ajyal Film Club: Festival Edition (Ages 8–15)
Across three days of Festival week, younger film fans explore cinema in age-specific groups, with carefully chosen films, creative activities, and conversations where every voice is heard. It’s a festival experience designed to build confidence, curiosity, and friendships.
