Doha Film Institute (DFI) is a nonprofit cultural organisation established in 2010 by Sheikha Al-Mayassa bint Hamad bin Khalifa Al-Thani to support the growth of the Qatari film community and to provide funding and international networking opportunities to creators.[1][2] DFI hosts two major film festivals, Ajyal Film Festival and Qumra, each year.[3] Since its inception, DFI has financially supported more than 600 projects from development through post-production.[4]
