The program of the festival is quite comprehensive

The program of the festival is quite comprehensive. The program includes workshops, exhibitions, Kurdish children's films and short film competitions, screenings of short and feature length films. The festival will also focus on the issues of women and children and this shows that the festival contains both social and artistic messages while many children and women are brutally killed. Children's films have become part of a very important concept created against the assimilation of the Kurdish culture.

Short film competition

The festival’s short film competition aims to promote Kurdish filmmakers and make their work more visible. The competition will also give an opportunity for up-coming filmmakers to screen their works.
