About MIFF

The Muslim International Film Festival (MIFF) was founded to create a home for Muslim creatives and audiences in the global film industry. Since 2019, MIFF has welcomed filmmakers and film lovers from around the world to Toronto for a celebration of storytelling that is bold, authentic, and unapologetically Muslim.

1. Champion Muslim Filmmakers:

Providing a platform for emerging and established voices.
