The Karama International Human Rights Film Festival is one of the most significant cinematic events in the Middle East, focusing on human rights issues.
Established in 2010, the festival aims to raise public awareness about human rights matters through art and cinema.
This year’s festival is themed “Justice for the People of the Global South” and emphasizes the legacy of colonialism, racial inequality, and environmental injustices. The main focus of this year’s festival is on ongoing struggles for justice, particularly for the people of Palestine and communities in the Global South.
‘The Sound of Cloud,’ has already received several international accolades, including the Best Animation Award at the 27th Marano Ragazzi Spot Festival and an Honorary Diploma at the fifth kinofestival “Light of the world” in Russia.
This short animation tells a story set between two devastating bomb explosions affecting the innocent children of Gaza.
