🎬 We had the privilege of hosting the German premiere of Birds of War at our award ceremony last week. Thank you to the directors, authors, and protagonists Janay and Abd Alkader for joining us in Berlin and reminding us that stories remain one of the strongest tools to fight back against dominant narratives.

On Saturday, we came together one last time—to watch WHERE STORIES FIGHT BACK. ✨
A heartfelt thank you to all our guests and filmmakers who shared their perspectives, opened up their creative worlds, and made these conversations so meaningful. And to the people in front of the camera—thank you for allowing us see your realities, your struggles, and your relentless fight. None of this can be taken for granted—quite the opposite. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

✨Last night, we celebrated our Awards Ceremony✨Three prizes were presented: the W***Y BRANDT DOCUMENTARY FILM AWARD went to Mothers of Chibok by Joel Kachi Benson, the YOUTH AWARD to There Was, There Was Not by Emily Mkrtichian, and the AUDIENCE AWARD to Runa Simi by Augusto Zegarra.
Our closing film, Birds of War, directed by Janay Boulos and Abd Alkader Habak — who are also the protagonists of the film — told a deeply moving love story between a Lebanese journalist living in London and a Syrian activist and cinematographer, brought to life through thirteen years of personal archives spanning revolution, war, and exile. We were truly honored to welcome the directors, along with producer Sonja Henrici, on stage.
A huge thank you to our wonderful audience — your energy, openness, and support made this night so special.
