Sami Mustafa

Sami Mustafa (1984 RKS/FR) is an independent film-maker, producer, and writer. His work explores memory and storytelling, often returning to the stories of his childhood.

Recalling wintery evenings at home with his family, Mustafa’s interest in storytelling was created by his father’s telling of Roma folktales. These narratives often combined folktales with real-life events and characters from their lives. Following his father’s death, Mustafa now hopes to continue the traditions and experience of Roma storytelling. Through his work, Mustafa searches to uncover untold stories.
