MIFF hosted its inaugural film festival in 2020 during the pandemic. To keep our audience members safe, we followed all provincial guidelines for a drive-in screening at the Ontario Place. 

MIFF hosted its second drive-in screening at the Ontario Place due to the ongoing Pandemic. In our second year, we screened a special feature of Mogul Mowgli, featuring Riz Ahmed. With several incredible film and food options, no one left MIFF hungry or unentertained.

Once restrictions were lifted, MIFF hosted it’s very first in-person film festival at the Meridians Art Centre. With performances from Hoodo Hersi, Shamali Afghan and Zaytouna Dabke (Say what?! MIFF had Hasan Minhaj’s show opener, a Coke Studio artist AND dabke hype? Yes, say Masha’Allah)

MIFF hosted a three day film festival packed with incredible films and great entertainment. With Oscar qualifying shorts and feature films like Goodbye Julia and Insha’Allah, A Boy, Muslim Excellence was clearly buzzing. It was also the launch of our first ever “Behind The Screens” industry and networking event featuring Nemahsis on a panel.

MIFF is delighted to bring you our 2024 events line up. With 5 Feature Films and 15 Short Films, this is our biggest festival yet! We invite you along with your family and friends for 5 DAYS of celebrating Muslim talent from around the world.
