The Somali Dervish (1985)
Centering on the revolutionary Dervish State and its influential leader, Muhammad Abdullah Hassan (the "Mad Mullah") is an epic on the grandest scale. The film follows Hassan's life from his roots as a humble mullah to a revolutionary anti-colonial leader that fought off the British Empire for more than two decades.

The Tree of Life (1988)
In a small town, a nomad cuts down a tree he needs to use. However, he accidentally chops down the wrong tree, felling the tree that sustains life itself. When the latter tree falls, all life disappears. The nomad then finds himself in the middle of a desert that he does not recognize, and he tries to work his way out of it. During this particular quest, he comes across a small tree that is in the process of dying and opts instead to save this one.

The Earth Has Ears (2025)
When men take up arms to go against their brothers, women have to take up gravediggers’ shovels. Ceebla (Fardouza Moussa Egueh, who we also saw in Gravedigger’s Wife), refuses to bargain for the cost of her labour. When her grave finally finds a taker, the revenue logic takes an unexpected twist. The Earth Has Ears is a civil war film without gunfire. It shows how the absurdity of war also turns everyday life at the home front irrational. / MSFF

Hopeless
Everyone thinks that Nasri is being killed because he is a young, immature child. In Somalia, I have met children like Nasri, young people living on the edge of life, silently watching how their peers are treated. Many children have created their own lives because they do not have a father and the freedom to do what they want. This film explores the possibility of a child who has already been abused in life. I hope this film gives a voice to the oppressed children of Somalia. Somali filmmaking is finally starting to flourish after decades of prohibition and neglect. Somalia is full of talent, but there is little opportunity to showcase it. We made this film with a 100% Somali cast and crew. Many of the cast members (including Ahmed who played Nasri, and Adar who played Hawa) are first-time actors.

Qabyo 2 (2003)
Qabyo 2 is the quintessential example of the sequel being better than the original. Written and directed by, and starring, a legendary cast of multi-hyphenated Somali artists, this cult classic combined unconventional filmmaking techniques, kinetic editing and a fascinating interpretation of mise en scène that’s since become an easily digestible visual grammar for its intended audience. This bombastic socio-comic musical about diaspora and assimilation in America ushered in a new era of national cinema that followed the Somali cinematic tradition’s steadfast belief in the ‘by us, for us’ philosophy.
