(Collective of filmmakers based in the autonomous region Rojava in northern Syria.)
For documenta fifteen, the collective curates a program of the commune’s archival and recent films, as well as examples from Kurdish film history. The program includes discussion panels with filmmakers and members of the commune and, in the Fridericianum, a video installation outlining the Rojava Film Academy as a model for alternative education.

The Rojava Film Commune is a collective of grassroots filmmakers whose work methods are rooted in the larger political project of the formation of a stateless democracy. Their films are part of a learning-by-doing process in filmmaking and a record of their struggles and resilience.
