A history worth preserving.
Rohingya Film School began in February 2020 with a vision of helping young Rohingya people develop creative skills and tell their own stories through photography and filmmaking.
Following the passing of co-founder Omar Faruk Mushfique in May 2020, the school carried the name Omar’s Film School in his memory. Today, as Rohingya Film School, it continues to honour the vision of community-led storytelling.
The materials in this archive preserve parts of that journey, the people, the creative work, and the stories that helped shape the school’s identity.
Stories deserve to be shared with care.
