Muslim Centered Artist Support

Placing Muslims at the Center of the Story

Artist Support creates a cycle of support for ISF film alumni by developing programming that supports their journey as a whole. We operate from a “Muslim Centered” space which is an evolving framework that creates space for Muslim artists to restore, define, and center their narratives.  All of our programs are alumni/artist lead. We have co-created short and long form programming incubators with Alumni, that are on rotation, to evolve with their careers.
