This engagement is supported by the Arts Midwest GIG Fund, a program of Arts Midwest that is funded by the National Endowment for the Arts, with additional contributions from the Iowa Arts Council.

FilmScene in collaboration with MIPSTERZ, Public Space One, and the Center for Afrofuturist Studies invites y'all to the screening of five critically acclaimed short films helping us explore "Muslim Futurism" as an evolving genre.

Please join us at 7PM on June 7, 2024 at The Chauncey (404 E College St. #100) for the viewing of these films followed by a panel discussion with scholars, film directors, and artists. Halal refreshments will be provided.
