A women’s film festival will take place on October 12, 2026, at the Jerusalem Cinematheque, featuring over 70 films, competitions, meetings, and cultural events.
As part of the festival, more than 70 films from Israel and around the world will be screened, alongside a celebration of women’s cinema featuring premieres, new and groundbreaking women creators, Israeli competitions, meetings throughout the city, cultural events, and tribute events honoring the creator and actress Hanna Azoulay-Hasfari, this year’s festival honoree.
In addition to the celebration of cinema, the festival shines a spotlight on raising awareness of women affected by violence, people with disabilities, people coping with mental illness, and people with psychological injuries, through film screenings held at institutions that serve these populations as well.
