Malmö Arab Film Festival
Since its inception in 2011, the Malmö Arab Film Festival has established itself as the largest and most significant Arab film event in Europe. What started as an ambitious idea to introduce Arab cinema to Nordic audiences quickly exceeded all expectations, evolving into a global platform for cultural dialogue and artistic exchange between the Arab world and Europe.
The festival celebrates the diversity of Arab cinema, reflecting its narratives and perspectives from across the Arab world while fostering connections between Arab filmmakers and their Nordic counterparts. Its program includes competitions for feature and short films, both fiction and documentary, alongside special screenings and parallel events.
In addition to film screenings, Malmö Industry Days serves as a leading professional forum that brings together filmmakers, producers, critics, and film institutions from the Arab world and the Nordic region. It provides exceptional opportunities for networking, development, and showcasing projects to key industry experts.
The 15th edition of the Malmö Arab Film Festival will take place from April 29 to May 5, 2025, while the 11th edition of Malmö Industry Days will be held from April 30 to May 3, 2025, continuing its pivotal role in supporting Arab cinema and strengthening international collaboration.
