The Ummah Wide Pop Up Film Festival

--

Come on an Ummah Wide journey across the planet as we explore global Muslim life, culture and community through film and stories.

The film festival pop up is a curated experience made up of short films and video clips that tell the story of Muslim communities that are rarely seen on TV. Shown together this diverse group of films and filmmakers show the complexity, beauty and struggles faced by Muslim communities in a way you have never seen before.

Hosted and curated by the founder of Ummah Wide, Dustin Craun who has just returned to the Bay Area after a two month trip across Southeast Asia and the Middle East, come learn more about this Bay Area rooted but globally focused digital media startup.
