Stone lamassu, a winged bull with a human head, from NimrudFor millennia, Assyrians have told stories in stone, song and speech. Nineveh FMS brings them to the screen, with our actors, our music and our humour.

We are building the studio our community never had, and opening its doors to every Assyrian writer, editor, actor, musician and creator ready to work.

The world we are building

A home for Assyrian film, music and storytelling, built with today’s tools.

Why Nineveh

Nineveh was a great capital of the Assyrian Empire, on the banks of the Tigris across from today’s Mosul. Its palace walls were covered in carved stories of kings, gardens, hunts and battles.

We named the studio after it because we are still telling those stories, now on screen.

Stories in stone

Assyrians were telling stories in pictures thousands of years before film.
