NOTE FROM THE FESTIVAL DIRECTOR:
Due to the recent announcement of social gathering restrictions in Kuwait, we’ve made the difficult decision to postpone the AIU Film Festival to November 2022.
While we know this is disappointing, we hope you understand this is necessary to maintain our vision while being responsible and sensible to the current situation.
If you have any questions or concerns, please get in touch here: film@aiu.edu.kw,
Stay safe, and we’ll be in touch with more information soon.
