- Our mission at the Hawler International Short Film Festival is multifaceted, focusing on artistic, cinematic values, education, quality enhancement, and inclusivity:
- Knowledge and Technology Dissemination: We aim to make Kurdish filmmakers familiar with the latest knowledge, techniques, and technologies in all elements of cinema from around the world. By inviting high quality artistic short movies and providing access to global cinematic innovations, we strive to empower local filmmakers to explore new horizons in storytelling and filmmaking.
- Quality Enhancement: We are dedicated to elevating the quality of films showcased at the festival year by year. Through rigorous selection processes, workshops, and mentorship programs, we aim to nurture and develop the skills of emerging filmmakers, ensuring that their work meets international standards of excellence.
- Focus on Women and Minority Rights: At the heart of our festival’s objectives is a commitment to championing human rights especially women and minority rights through cinema. We strive to provide a platform for women filmmakers to express themselves freely, share their unique perspectives, and create artistic movies that resonate with audiences worldwide. By highlighting stories that focus on women and minority rights, we aim to foster greater understanding, empathy, and social change within our community and beyond.
