MA CINEMATOGRAPHY, MET FILM SCHOOL

I have been a filmmaker for nearly a decade, producing documentaries and podcasts that have allowed me to tell the stories of marginalised and oppressed communities, both in the UK and abroad. This work has often focused on the different manifestations of Islamophobia and I have worked with a number of Muslim organisations and individuals to tackle this issue. In addition to making films, I organise and curate film screenings as part of my work with ‘Other Cinemas’, a project I co-founded with a focus on showcasing the films of a diverse range of artists. I have a BA in History and an MA in Documentary Filmmaking. This scholarship will allow me to elevate my work, experiment with other mediums and create opportunities to collaborate with other filmmakers.
