Human Rights Action

FROM WATCHING TO ACTION:

Films have the power to highlight injustices, move people, and inspire a better world. This year, we aim to take a constructive look towards the future. In a time when the world seems to be falling apart, decisive action for democracy and human rights, for freedom of the press and expression, is more important than ever.

With our new format, Human Rights Action, the festival creates a space to move from watching to taking action. Together with our partners, we present ways for you to actively engage with the themes addressed in the films and support human rights. We unite the efforts of filmmakers, policymakers, NGOs, and our passionate audience to create positive and sustainable change together.
