A key highlight of the festival was Ariane Labed, who screened her latest film following its Cannes premiere and participated in a compelling panel discussion on the opportunities and challenges women face in the post-MeToo era.

The festival also featured:

  • Two Greek film premieres, both drawing packed audiences.
  • A workshop and discussion on intimacy coordination, addressing evolving industry standards in creating safe sets.
  • Engaging panel discussions on diverse family structures and their representation in media.
  • A spotlight on Palestinian women filmmakers, amplifying their voices and stories.
