The Hamburg Kurdish Film Festival is one of the most important Kurdish film festivals outside Turkey and Iraq, and has been part of Hamburg’s festival calendar since 2004. It is notable for presenting Kurdish cinema as a space of resistance, survival, memory, and hope, while also creating public discussion around Kurdish realities and diaspora experiences.[2][3]
