At the MSFF, we believe in helping give a voice to those most vulnerable.
It goes without saying that our impact is wholly due to our grantee partners, who change and save lives every day, all across the world. We are honoured to support their extraordinary visions and communities.

In 2015, the MSFF launched its flagship Arab Women Filmmakers initiative at the Cannes Film Festival through a partnership with UCLA’s School of Theater, Film and Television. Together, we created the Hani Farsi Graduate Scholarship Fund that provides full graduate scholarships for a Master of Fine Arts in Directing to women from the Arab world.
This flagship was designed to achieve greater representation of women, particularly Arab women, in the film industry, and to give a voice to their unique perspectives and experiences.

Over the last 14 years, the MSFF has been honoured to support the extraordinary work of over 100 partners across 15 different countries.
