The American Islamic Congress and Project Nur Present
Controversy
Riots over cartoons. Women sentenced to death by stoning. Leaders denying homosexuality exists in their country. These recent snapshots from the headlines are a reminder that contemporary Muslim affairs are rife with controversies.

Now the Spring 2010 Muslim Film Festival aims to go beyond sound-bites and stereotypes for an open conversation about controversial topics. Come see provocative short films and then join the post-screening discussion with academics, artists, and ordinary people struggling to define their lives in the face of injustice.

This festival of ideas is made possible by a generous grant from Mass Humanities.
