MOHY QUANDOUR'S AWARD

The Independent International Film Festival and Awards (SIFFA) will present a new special award this year — the Mohy Quandour (Kandour) Award for Best Youth Focused Film.

This award was established to perpetuate the memory of an outstanding Jordanian and of Circassian background Hollywood film director, writer, and composer, whose enormous support for the festival was fundamental to its formation and development. SIFFA named the award in his honour to also recognise his commitment to supporting youth.

The award is given to international films that present excellent feature, short or documentary stories dedicated to the problems and needs of youth.

This award can also be given to a talented young actor.

The first winner will be announced at the 13th SIFFA Awards Ceremony on November 24, 2024, that is to be held in London.

Mohy Quandour remains the Honorary President of the International Jury of the SIFFA Film Festival and his facsimile signature will be placed on the Diploma.
