The IFFF Dortmund+Cologne welcomes the new Cologne-based group Palestinians and Jews for Peace to the festival. The feminist group, which was founded by friends Kristina Bublevskaya and Zeynep Karaosman shortly after 7 October, consists of Palestinian, Jewish and other solidarity and emancipatory friends who are committed to a differentiated dialogue and compassionate, respectful interaction with one another.

Their aim is to emphasise that there are infinitely more than just two sides and that all people are learners. They show that the fight against fascism, racism and anti-Semitism must always be fought with oneself. In this sense, the group will introduce itself and provide an opportunity for dialogue.
