Opening Night – Mosaic International South Asian Film Festival 2026
On September 30th, we’re opening MISAFF 2026 at the Aga Khan Museum’s with an evening that celebrated independent cinema — and helps sustain it.
Join us for the Canadian premiere of Sarmad Khoosat’s critically acclaimed LALI, followed by a post-screening Q&A with the director and our Opening Night afterparty.
Opening Night Red Carpet Gala Fundraiser — $150
Your fundraiser ticket includes:
- VIP cocktail reception
- Canadian premiere screening of LALI
- Post-screening Q&A with director Sarmad Khoosat (screening only ticket $60)
- And, importantly, your support for MISAFF
This year, Opening Night is also a fundraiser for the festival.
MISAFF has spent more than a decade creating a platform for independent filmmakers and stories that too often have to fight for space, audiences and investment. At a time when arts organizations face growing financial pressures, our community’s support has become even more important.
Your $150 ticket helps us continue bringing independent cinema to audiences, creating opportunities for filmmakers and building a festival where stories and artists from underrepresented communities can be seen, discussed and celebrated.
