Message of support from the Mayor of London for the London Kurdish Film Festival, 30 November - 6 December 2007


I would like to congratulate the organisers of the 5th London Kurdish Film Festival and wish you every success for this year's event.

I am very proud that so many Kurdish people have made London their home and recognise the contribution that Kurdish communities make to the economic, social and cultural life of London. Since 2001, the festival has provided an important platform to support the development of Kurdish cinema and to highlight the issues and experiences of Kurdish people across the world.

My best wishes to you all for a successful and enjoyable festival.




Ken Livingstone
Mayor of London
