Ajyal Film Festival 2024

A flagship event of Doha Film Institute, Ajyal Arabic for generations, brings the entire community together through screenings and events that inspire creative interaction and stimulate cinematic dialogue. 

The festival showcases a diverse selection of compelling films from Qatar, the Middle East, and beyond, including feature films, documentaries, and short films. Ajyal also offers a range of engaging activities, workshops, and panel discussions for youth between the ages 8-25 designed to inspire creativity and ignite meaningful conversations about the power of cinema as a tool for social change and cultural exchange.

To commemorate the Qatar-Morocco 2024 Year of Culture, Ajyal will feature a series of short Moroccan films as part of this year’s Made in Morocco special screenings programme co-curated by the Marrakech Short Film Festival (MARRAKECHsFF).
