The Malmö Arab Film Festival (MAFF), one of the largest Arab cinema festivals abroad, has announced the dates for its 2025 edition.
The 15th edition of MAFF will run from April 22 to April 28, 2025.
The festival has been held annually since 2011 and has developed into one of the most important platforms for Arab cinema in Europe. It was founded by director Mouhamad Keblawi.
MAFF was founded to build a platform and a meeting place for Arab cinema in Malmö, Sweden, and Europe. It started as a grassroots initiative and has since undergone tremendous development, and is now one of the largest film festivals in southern Sweden.
The organization is now a year-round operation working with special events and festivals across Sweden. Around 80 features, short films, and documentaries from all over the Arab world are screened during the festival.
The programme offers competition sections, panoramas, special screenings, workshops, seminars, and celebrations.
Parallel to the festival is MAFF Industry Days (MID), an industry forum for collaboration and co-production between the Nordic and Arab film industries initiated in 2015, will take place from April 30 to May 2, 2025.
The festival is ultimately an organization that promotes diversity and tolerance through cinema. The film medium is an accessible cultural form and provides a universal language with an incredible narrative power that can serve as a tool for fostering mutual understanding. Cinema is for everyone and has the potential to cross all boundaries.
