    By CWB News Department on 09/01/2021 Festivals, Videos

    The New York Kurdish Film and Cultural Festival, founded by NY-based educator and human rights activist Xeyal Qertel, is proud to announce its fifth edition. This year’s programming centers Kurdish women and their contributions to human rights discourse, feminism, literature, and egalitarian social organizing. The festival includes feature and short film screenings, live music performance, and book talks. New York’s landmark movie theater, Village East by Angelika will host us. The event will take place Friday September 10th from 6 PM – 10 PM and on Saturday and Sunday from 2 PM – 10 PM.
    NYKFCF is sponsored by Justice for Kurds, Rosa Luxemburg Stiftung NY Office, NYU Kevorkian Center, and Kurdish Lobby in Australia. Our community partners are Washington Kurdish Institute, Kat and Retaw Film Distributions, and German Film Office.

    NYKFCF’s fifth edition is dedicated to honor Kurdish women’s endeavor to create an equitable, more humane and just society in the Middle East and around the globe.

    society in the Middle East and around the globe. We are trying to show who Kurdish women are
