MUNA Short Film Competition

MUNA

Screens as part of SHORTS PROGRAM: LIVE ACTION 2

British-Somali teen Muna is desperate to go on a school trip to escape the monotony of her household, but when tragedy strikes, she must instead navigate a mourning period for someone she never really knew.

An alum of the BFI NETWORK@LFF Program, Warda Mohamed participated in the writers’ room for Nida Manzoor’s WE ARE LADY PARTS. Making its international premiere at Berlinale, her short film MUNA has played at over 40 festivals globally and was nominated at the BIFAs, at the London Critics Circle and for the HBO Short Film Award.
