Films for Freedom

              

                                


The Film-Makers’ Cooperative and Canyon Cinema joined forces in 2025 to support Fall of Freedom – an urgent nationwide arts movement united in defiance of authoritarianism.
We sent out a call for 10 seconds films. Over 100 artists sent us their work.
Content warning: Some films contain strobe and flicker effects.
