We are women—the source of life and the mothers of humanity. We exist without boundaries, and our aspiration for freedom elevates our minds, allowing them to flourish without limits. The energy of our souls will not be confined to the bodies that some seek to buy and sell in the markets of desire. Therefore, we open the doors of hope for women who wish to express their thoughts and dreams through the art of cinema.
We firmly believe that we can beautify our world with the emotions of women, which guarantees our freedom. In the face of all forms of domination, war, occupation, and pillage imposed on our lives, societies, and nature today, we choose to resist through our cinematic stories.
Our philosophy as women calls for a beautiful life and a peaceful world, where children do not grow up amid wars devoid of hope. We strive for equal and free coexistence between women and men while honoring our humanity towards nature. Just as nature cares for us, we must also show care for it; this is why we are determined to undertake this noble work.
Kezi is a collective of filmmakers from Kurdistan, the Middle East, and around the globe. Over the past years, our activities have centered on the production and screening of films, as well as training women in the field of cinema across various regions of Kurdistan and beyond.
The source of our courage and self-confidence in our revolutionary cinematic journey stems from the women’s revolution in Kurdistan, the Middle East, and the world—embracing the slogan "Women, Life, Freedom."
