Edition 01

JAHA Film Festival's inaugural edition presents a curated hybrid program, launching with exclusive Lisbon screenings (Dec 6-14, 2025) before its global online premiere (Feb 14-28, 2026).

Through the thematic triptych - Phoenix Rising, Unraveling Roots, and Thriving as Resistance - the festival platforms cinema as a radical weapon of liberation, centering the vital voices of trans, intersex, and nonbinary artists from the Global South.
