Mercy to the Universe International Short Film Festival
As filmmakers, cinema is a tool to tell stories, transmit messages, and change the world for the better. It establishes a link between Prophet Muhammad’s example life for humanity and the filmmaker’s goals. The Prophet’s (peace be upon him) way of life is an excellent model for all human beings. He indicates and teaches people gratitude, humility, mercy, patience, and submission, compassion towards the family, pardoning the guilt, generosity. In addition, he teaches to show all these values towards nature and animals as well as human beings. Furthermore, as festival organizers, we hope that the films will embody ideals that will help to heal the world such as those mentioned above. Following that, the main admission criteria are that films must possess those values. We look forward to your participation in our festival!
