HISTORY OF THE FORUM
OUR VISION
At the NGO International Film & Knowledge Forum, we envision a world where creativity, knowledge, and collaboration converge to drive social impact. We believe in the transformative power of films and educational platforms to address pressing global challenges, foster dialogue, and inspire change.
OUR MISSION
Our mission is to bring together storytellers, thought leaders, activists, and global citizens to explore and tackle the most urgent issues of our time. Through our annual forum, we aim to amplify voices that often go unheard, spotlight groundbreaking films and ideas, and create a space where knowledge is shared and solutions are born.
OUR HISTORY
Founded in 2020, the NGO International Film & Knowledge Forum was born out of a deep-seated commitment to leveraging the arts and education as tools for advocacy and change. Over the years, our event has evolved from a film festival into a multifaceted platform that now includes knowledge sessions, workshops, interactive discussions, and networking opportunities. Our journey began with a singular goal: to bring impactful stories to the forefront, and it has since expanded to encompass a broader mission of empowering individuals and communities through knowledge-sharing and collaboration.
WHAT WE DO
Each year, we focus on a set of themes that reflect the most critical global issues of the moment. These themes are explored through a variety of mediums—film screenings, expert panels, workshops, and interactive sessions—creating a holistic experience that engages participants on multiple levels.
Film Screenings: We showcase a carefully curated selection of films from around the world that illuminate the challenges and triumphs of our themes. These films are not just stories—they are catalysts for change, sparking conversations and inspiring action.
Knowledge Sessions: Our knowledge sessions bring together experts, academics, and practitioners to share insights and strategies for addressing global challenges. These sessions are designed to educate, inform, and empower attendees with the tools and knowledge they need to make a difference.
Workshops and Interactive Sessions: We believe that learning is best achieved through participation. Our workshops and interactive sessions provide hands-on opportunities for attendees to engage with the issues at hand, develop new skills, and collaborate on solutions.
