The Universal Kids Film Festival (UKFF) is an annual event held in Istanbul, Turkey, dedicated to children and youth cinema. The festival aims to inspire and promote peace through film, as articulated by its founder, Rowena Martinez Ulayan. A distinctive feature of the UKFF is the "Peace Carpet," which encourages visitors to sign a white cloth in support of peace and walk on a black cloth to protest war, engaging attendees in an interactive performance for peace. The festival accepts submissions for various categories, including feature-length films (animation and live-action), documentaries, short films, and student films.
