The first ACTIFEST exceeded our imagination.
The talks were powerful. The music moved us. The message was clear.
The artworks and installations confronted us with pain, memory and resistance. Cinema of Resistance was heartbreaking. And throughout the entire day, people connected, organized, listened, questioned and acted together.
Thank you to everyone who showed up. To every volunteer, artist, speaker, musician, filmmaker, organisation and visitor: this only existed because of you.
ACTIFEST proves that people are willing to come together for justice, solidarity and collective action.
From outrage to action.
We organize. We resist. We act.

TALK: ACCOUNTABILITY & MEDIA
Media doesn’t just reflect reality, it shapes it.
In this conversation, Amal Helles (@amal.h.helles ), Lidija Zelovic, Eduard Cousin (@eduardcousin ) and moderstor Tamar Guttmann (@tamarguttmann ) explore how narratives are constructed, challenged and used within systems of power.
From frontline reporting to documentary storytelling, this talk confronts the question: Who controls the narrative, and how do we reclaim it?
