Make Your Voice Matter—Become an Ajyal Juror.
16–23 November 2024
Registrations for our Ajyal Jury Experience are open, and we are now looking for the driving force and heart of the festival—our dedicated jurors.
Ajyal brings young people aged between 8 and 25 from around the world together in a shared spirit of understanding, cultural exchange and meaningful dialogue. An exploration of the transformative power of film, the festival hosts engaging workshops, compelling screenings, insightful discussions, and opportunities for our jurors to learn from internationally renowned creative talents.
As an Ajyal Juror—your opinion truly matters. By casting your vote, you decide which directors will receive funding towards their next project, playing a crucial role in shaping the future of cinema that speaks to your generation.
Discover, Discuss, and Decide—Your Role as an Ajyal Juror:
● Watch a compelling selection of short and feature-length films from around the world.
● Vote for your favourite films and help select the Ajyal Competition winners.
● Engage with internationally renowned guests in thought-provoking discussions.
● Participate in workshops and masterclasses that explore the art of filmmaking.
