From KufiCon to all year
KufiCon is one day. Kufi Circle is all year.
A community for Muslim filmmakers, writers, artists, journalists and storytellers. Learn from people doing the work, find your collaborators and keep making things together. It starts free.
What it is
Where the conversations from KufiCon keep going
Kufi Productions started Kufi Circle in 2026 for creatives and professionals of every generation. It is the room after the panel: the people you met at a workshop, a screening or a shoot, still there the next morning.
Kufi Circle lives on Ummah, a free community app. That is where the updates, the groups for your craft and the next events are, all in one place instead of scattered across group chats.
Inside the Circle
Learn it. Make it. Show it.
Learn from working creatives
Workshops, townhalls with the Kufi creative team and guides from people in the industry.
Find your collaborators
Groups for your craft where you can ask questions, share drafts and meet the people you will make the next thing with.
See it first
Private screenings, early looks at Kufi films and member-only video, depending on your membership.
