This festival is our initiative to spark important conversations about a wide range of human rights issues through the powerful medium of film. A Growing Platform for Human Rights Stories Over the past two editions, the festival has become a significant platform for filmmakers and human rights advocates. We've received over 3,000 film submissions and screened more than 200 films. In addition to these screenings, we've curated over 10 panel discussions and conversations on pressing human rights issues, including gender equality in housing and technology, press freedom in Africa, and climate justice. The festival has also hosted masterclasses led by renowned filmmakers worldwide, providing invaluable learning opportunities for aspiring creators. 2024 THEME: CELEBRATING RESILIENCE IN THE FACE OF REPRESSION This year's festival theme is RESILIENCE. We will celebrate the unwavering spirit of communities, journalists, and human rights defenders who continue to fight for a just world despite facing repression. The festival will showcase stories of communities facing different human rights violations like illegal demolitions and displacement, yet continue to fight back and demand change. We will explore how these communities and individuals collaborate to resist oppression and build a better future.
