Today, 2 October, amidst the noise of the bombs that continue to widen the disaster of violence between governments and destroy peoples, we send out a signal of NONVIOLENCE. A signal that can reach the hearts of simple people and help to create an outcry against barbarism.

These are the films AWARDED by the international selection team of the 7th International Film Festival of Active Nonviolence 2024, awarding them the “Stelae” of this edition, in its five different sections.

The international organising team, from different cities and countries, following the criteria from a humanist approach of rescuing the best examples that fit the theme of the festival: “nonviolence transforming the world”, have made the following selection of award-winning films in its five competition sections (Short, Medium and Feature Films in the General Section and Short Films in the Primary and Secondary Schools and Higher Education Centres Section).

Our most sincere thanks to all the participants of the 2724 films registered from 126 countries and to the 921 films admitted as official selection in competition. It was very difficult to make such a small selection of finalists.

We recognise in this edition 5 films awarded with the “Stela” of FICNOVA, among the 41 finalist films from 13 countries as some good examples of the strength of nonviolence that is growing and transforming the world.

Thank you very much to all and congratulations to the winners.
