What an incredible week we have had for our second edition of Ajyal Youth Film Festival. From our busy Family Weekend programme to the digital ‘wow-factor’ of Sandbox to a full week of screenings of compelling, thought-provoking films for our DFE Jurors and Doha audience, we have a lot to celebrate and be thankful for.

Our Closing Ceremony and MENA Premiere of ‘Kahlil Gibran’s The Prophet’ was an amazing way to end this fantastic week. Visit our website to view all of the glamour from last night’s Red Carpet.

We’d like to give a warm thank you to our Volunteers, who have made this past incredible week possible. Thank you for your time and energy in being a part of this remarkable journey with us!
