Woman Life Freedom Film Festival
About this Event
Welcome to the Woman, Life, Freedom Film Festival.
Held in solidarity with the revolutionary movement of the Iranian people that began in January 2026, the festival honours those who have lost their lives or continue to face persecution in the struggle for freedom and human dignity.
Through powerful films from around the world, the festival highlights stories of courage, resilience, and resistance while promoting freedom of expression, equality, and human rights. Join us for screenings and conversations that amplify voices too often silenced.
