World Beyond War Film Fest starts this week

2026 Virtual Film Festival: Silenced: Repression of Dissent

Join World BEYOND War for our 6th annual virtual film festival throughout the month of March!

This year’s festival theme examines the increasing repression of nonviolent protest, criminalization of dissent, and the curtailing of freedom of speech worldwide. This year’s film festival creates space for this timely discussion of what’s at stake for those who stand up for peace and justice, and how we can rise up in solidarity to grow our movements in the face of repression.

How It Works:
