Originally set to take place in late April 2026, the festival’s center announced that the 4th edition has been postponed due to the recent US-Israeli aggression against Iran.
The new date for the festival will be announced in due course.
This edition of the gala is also introducing a new section titled “Ramadan War”, dedicated to narratives, documentation and media productions addressing the Ramadan War and the hostile actions of the US and the Israeli regime against Iran.
Founded in 2023, the festival has aimed to foster global media connections by bringing together international producers to inspire robust media trends worldwide.
With the slogan “Media and the Modern International System,” the Sobh Festival emphasizes values of local and regional identity, morality, family authenticity, resistance dialogue, and opposition to global arrogance.
Producers interested in submitting their works can find more information and register at the festival’s official website on sobhfestival.com.
