After last year’s success of selecting and screening Ai Wei Wei’s Never Sorry
and awarding Rob Leech’s My Brother the Islamist – the Festival decided to add a
special selection of films to the Art programme this year.

The Film Section of the festival selects film makers who’ve proved their passion
for freedom in a politically correct or sensitive environment whilst answering
with their work on 3 questions:

1. WHAT IS FREEDOM?
2. HOW EASY IS IT TO LOSE IT?
3. HOW HARD IS IT TO GET IT BACK?

Recognizing the importance of documentary and feature films in freedom
movements, the Film Section of the festival has short-listed films for its
artistic values and meaningful impact on societies.

All the trailers of the nominees are being published on the festival
Youtube channel inspiring thousands of concerned citizens to watch quality films.
Set in a special setting of a gallery venue, surrounded by various art
creations of the festival, we arrange screenings for the awarded films followed
by a talk with the film makers and more than a hundred members of the audience.

Every day a new trailer will be published. Watch this space Watch these movies.
