The Universal Kids Film Festival is an international film festival held in Istanbul, Turkey, dedicated to films for children and youth. The festival advocates for peace, a theme underscored by its unique "Peace Carpet" feature, where visitors sign a white cloth for peace and walk on a black cloth to protest war. Founded by Filipino artist Rowena Martinez Ulayan, the festival aims to inspire and promote peace through cinematic arts. It accepts submissions across various categories, including feature-length and short films in animation, live-action, and documentary formats, as well as student films.
