The primary motive of this international gathering of creative film professionals is to contribute to the development of emerging voices in cinema, with a special focus on first- and second-time filmmakers, alongside a series of screenings for Doha audiences featuring films by international masters and recipients of support from the Institute.
Qumra begins 3 March and continues through 8 March, with additional public screenings taking place 1 and 2 March.
