Behind every powerful story is an archive of memory. 💭
As Muslims, our histories have too often been erased, misrepresented, or left untold — and this conversation dives deep into how we can change that.

Join us for Digitizing the Past, Shaping the Future of Muslim Storytelling, a thought-provoking panel exploring how digital archives and creative preservation can protect our past, empower our present, and inspire generations of storytellers to come. 🌙📚

🎙️ Featuring:
🌟 Sana Saidi — Award-winning Graphic Designer + Art Director whose work reclaims narrative authority and preserves Afghan and Muslim stories through design and archives.
🌟 Zarrar Kahn — Acclaimed filmmaker behind In Flames, Pakistan’s 2024 Oscar entry and a multi-award-winning voice championing marginalized stories.
💬 Moderated by Hirra Farooqi — Filmmaker, producer, activist, and MIFF CEO & Co-Founder, committed to amplifying Muslim voices on and off screen.

✨ This exclusive evening will bring together filmmakers, producers, and industry leaders for meaningful dialogue, connection, and inspiration — a must-attend for anyone shaping the future of Muslim cinema.
