Rojazer Best Feature Fiction Film Award "In the Blind Spot" by Ayşe Polat "Awarded for the powerful straightforwardness and technical mastery in presenting the invisible aspects of oppression directed at Kurdish people in Turkey. Ayşe Polat’s film offers a new perspective on the Kurdish issue and powerfully reveals—through both its technique and narrative method—that everything about the state's agency in the Kurdish issue is laid bare. This film resonates with the current political climate and offers a compelling argument for why naming a problem is the first step toward solving it." #LondonKurdishFilmFestival ##LKFF2025 (fb)

Yılmaz Güney Best Short Fiction Film Award "Agony" by Borhan Ahmadi and Leila Baghpira "We were touched by the attentive and sensitive way of presenting this vulnerable topic. Importantly, the film brings into focus the dire situation of people with disabilities who are still facing many challenges all around the world." #LondonKurdishFilmFestival #LKFF2025 (fb)
