Join us for a specially curated programme of short films for Refugee Week 2026

Actor and writer Sarah Agha curates a programme of short films for Arab Film Club on 28 June, followed by a live Q&A with the film-makers. These exceptional films demonstrate how film-makers can use the power of cinema, art and storytelling to humanise narratives of migration, using cinema to champion stories of courage, community and resilience.

Full line up to be announced soon. For ages 14+.

Book your place on the Southbank Centre website.
