The 2025 Venice International Film Festival will focus on the Palestinian cause. Through film screenings, conferences, and symbolic actions, the festival will demonstrate how cinema can be a powerful tool for sharing testimonies and inspiring resistance. A striking symbol is the sail of the Oedipus Rex, adorned with the Palestinian flag. Key films include "The Voice of Hind Rajab" by Kaouther Ben Hania and the documentary "Who Is Still Alive" by Nicolas Wadimoff. There will also be special events, such as a commemoration for the murdered Palestinian photographer Fatma Hassona.
