Soura Film Festival

Soura Film Festival is a queer film festival that sheds light on cinematic talents from the SWANA (South West Asia & North Africa) region. Soura—which means ‘image’ in Arabic, is about sharing a vision of life that is poignant, defiant, and unique. The festival’s mission is to create a safe space for filmmakers whose creative vision has challenged heteronormativity and patriarchal environments, and have explored queerness and what it represents to them. Queerness, as seen by the festival, is not exclusive to efforts related to the LGBTQ+ community, but also tackles themes such as feminism, migration and human relationships that defy oppressive social constructs.
