Kurdish cinema refers to films produced by the Kurdish people, primarily in regions of Iraq, Turkey, Iran, and Syria. It has gained recognition for its unique storytelling, often reflecting the cultural, social, and political struggles of the Kurdish community. The industry has seen growth since the late 20th century, with filmmakers exploring themes of identity, displacement, and resilience. Notable Kurdish films include A Time for Drunken Horses and My Sweet Pepper Land, which have received international acclaim. The emergence of film festivals, such as the Kurdish Film Festival, has further promoted Kurdish cinema, providing a platform for filmmakers to showcase their work and connect with global audiences.
