Film festivals |
A human rights film festival is a subject specific film festival that presents films on topics related to human rights.[1] They are a type of activist film festival.[2] Many human rights film festivals show documentary films, however, some also include fiction, animated and short films.[3] The first film festival with the title of a human rights film festival was the Human Rights Watch International Film Festival inaugurated in 1988.[3] Many have emerged since then with the largest being the One World International Human Rights Documentary Film Festival in Prague.[2] Under the stewardship of another prominent human rights film festival, Movies that Matter, the Human Rights Film Network has created a communal circuit of human rights film festivals which work with a guiding Charter towards an atmosphere of support and collaboration.[2][4] The Human Rights Film Network uses the Universal Declaration of Human Rights as their moral centre.[5] A large majority of the human rights film festivals listed below are members of the Human Rights Film Network.
