Cinema and the online world offer more than just an artistic and expressive outlet for the Kurdish people; they have the power to bring together a community divided by hardships and borders, rallying around a common identity and culture. This festival transcends physical boundaries, bringing together Kurds worldwide and anyone interested in Kurdish culture. Through the universal language of cinema, it is possible to develop a common understanding and a spirit of solidarity.
