In its second year, the International Anti-War Film Festival continues to amplify the light of cinema against the darkness of war. As humanity wakes up every day to the shadow of bombardments and news of hunger and massacres, we transform this shared cry into a single voice through works from all around the world. We call upon the world of cinema to unite and raise the shout: “Stop the Wars!”

We dedicate the 2026 festival to the memory of the 165 Iranian schoolgirls who were torn from life by US-Israeli bombardments while our preparations were underway.

We are beginning our work to meet in theaters on December 4-5-6.

To contribute to this collective effort and to further expand the festival, we reiterate our call for festival volunteers in all cities.

With the strength of resistance, the resolve of the struggle, and the warmth of solidarity…
