Solidarity
Festival 2023

The special edition of the 2023 Solidarity Festival was held for eight days under the distress and dark shadow of the events of October 7 and the war in Gaza and northern Israel. The 11th edition of the Solidarity Festival took place out of a sense of commitment to the themes and founding values ​​of the festival, aiming to provoke though about what happened to us and the path we must walk on right now.

 

We would like to thank the Israeli and international filmmakers for the privilege to screen their films, the thousands of viewers who attended the festival events, and all of our partners who made it possible for us to hold the 2023 Solidarity Festival at the Tel Aviv Cinematheque and five other locations throughout Israel. We will be pleased to see you at our events throughout 2024 and at the 12 th Solidarity Human Rights Film Festival, which will be held in December on 5-10.12.2024, in the hope of strengthening in Israel a commitment to human rights and to quality cinematic work, of which human rights are part of its DNA.
