Muslim women filmmakers represent a marginalized group of media makers and visual artists coming from countries where the dominant religion is Islam. Some of these nations include Iran, Afghanistan, Indonesia, Pakistan, Egypt, Mali, Palestine and Malaysia.[1]
Muslim women filmmakers create films and videos that deconstruct female stereotypes through a unique, accessible and modern feminist lens. Film and other forms of widely distributed media provide Muslim women a channel to explore and revisit the roles they play within the constraints of societal and religious expectations.
Types of content created by these filmmakers include documentary, feature films, non-fiction or historical films, and television shows.
