APFF 2025
Nothing hides beneath the scorching sun.
Its burning truth touches everything even the shadows of our grief.
And the sea does not forget.
Each wave, like our films, carries memory to the shore, telling stories of what was lost… and what survives. This is not just good cinema.
This is memory.
This is resistance.
This is for the people who are not afraid to look at the sun 
Who face truth without turning away,
Who carry memory like salt on the skin,
Who return, wave after wave. Welcome to APFF 2025
