The Karama Human Rights Film Festival takes place annually in Amman and presents films about human rights in the Middle East and North Africa and beyond. It is organised by Ma3mal 612 Think Factory and was established in Jordan in 2010. Each edition is built around its own theme and combines screenings of fiction features, short fiction, documentaries and animation with discussions, workshops, exhibitions and music performances. Selected films compete for the Karama Feather Awards, and the ANHAR Network Award goes to the best human rights film from the Arab world. The festival also runs an annual youth forum, a human rights symposium, a meeting for audiovisual professionals and outreach screenings at universities, schools and across Jordan's governorates.

The 17th edition, themed “The Power of Humanity”, runs from 25 to 30 November 2026.
