I Will Tell Film Festival 2026

This year marks the 20th anniversary of the festival, a milestone celebrating two decades of powerful storytelling, cultural dialogue, and global connection.

Over the years, I Will Tell has evolved into a worldwide platform for courageous storytelling, known for hosting unique cinema events that bring film, live experiences, and meaningful conversations together.

As one of the leading film festivals with audience discussion, we create space for stories that resonate deeply, challenge perspectives, and inspire change across cultures that are always grounded in truth, compassion, and lasting impact.
