\u00a0As Turkey continues its brutal campaign of aggression in North-East Syria (Rojava), Kurdish communities remain on the frontlines of resistance. In defiance of occupation, violence, and systemic oppression, the people of Rojava continue to build an egalitarian society rooted in principles of direct democracy, women emancipation, and social ecology.<\/p>

This event amplifies the resistance of Rojava through the lens of Kurdish filmmakers, featuring two documentary films produced by the Rojava Film Commune.<\/p>

Jinwar<\/em> (2024)<\/strong><\/p>

In 2017 a group of women in North-East Syria (Rojava) envisioned and created Jinwar, an all-women village constructed using traditional materials and methods. Jinwar became a refuge for women escaping male violence, providing a space to rebuild lives through collective living, agriculture, and handicrafts. Narrated by R\u00fbmet Heval, the film portrays how the women of Jinwar are forging new identities and crafting a vision of an egalitarian society. Jinwar<\/em> was screened<\/a> at NYKFF8.
