**Knowmad Short Film Festival (KSFF): Stigma Dialogues: Drugs, Society & Humanity**

  
The Knowmad Short Film Festival (KSFF) is a collaborative effort between the European Institute for Multidisciplinary Studies on Human Rights and Sciences - Knowmad Institut (Germany) and the North Luzon Cinema Guild (Philippines). It serves as a platform for intercultural exchange, spotlighting alternative narratives that reflect the current state of the Human Dignity.

  
In its fourth edition, the Knowmad Short Film Festival (KSFF) presents "Stigma Dialogues," inviting viewers to explore the societal impact of drug stigmas through the power of cinema.

  
"Stigma Dialogues" is a space for untold stories and silenced voices, where cinema becomes a bridge between diverse human experiences, dismantling prejudices and fostering deeper understanding of complex issues.

  
This year, the festival aims to illuminate the realities of the relationship between people and drugs, examining the impact of policies, and exploring their social and environmental repercussions, all while upholding human dignity and fundamental rights. Each short film and ensuing dialogue aims to contribute to a more inclusive and compassionate society, aligning with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly SDG 3 (Good Health and Well-being), SDG 10 (Reduced Inequalities), SDG 16 (Peace, Justice, and Strong Institutions), and SDG 17 (Partnerships for the Goals).

  
The KSFF values works that craft compelling narratives, authentically represent diverse perspectives, push the boundaries of creativity, and inspire audiences to engage in meaningful discussions.

The final selection of short films will be used to make a Film Essay.
