Human Rights Watch Film Festival Ends After Screening 1,000 Independent Films Over 30 Years


Human Rights Watch announced the end of its film festival on March 13, 2024.

34th Human Rights Watch Film Festival 2023

The 34th Human Rights Watch Film Festival 2023 is at Film at Lincoln Center and IFC Center in the West Village, May 31 – June 11, 2023. $15. 🇧🇷 🇫🇷 🇮🇷 🇮🇹 🇺🇬

The festival’s cast of filmmakers, film subjects, journalists, activists and academics lift the conversation about what’s really happening in the world today.

We have a lot of problems that we can only solve together. The first step is to accept that we have problems and then we can start to work on them. You’ll see stories here that you won’t see anywhere else.

There are many stories about people who struggle through lose-lose situations.

The opening night film is “Seven Winters in Tehran,” Steffi Niederzoll’s documentary about a woman sentenced to death for killing a man as he tried to rape her. In Farsi with English subtitles. 🇮🇷

The centerpiece film is “Theatre of Violence,” Lukasz Konopa’s and Emil Langballe’s documentary about the first child soldier to be prosecuted in the International Criminal Court. What is justice when the perpetrator is also the victim? Filmmaker Q&As on Sunday, June 4. 🇺🇬

There are ten films this year. These are some of the Latin ones.

“Into My Name” (Nel Mio Nome) is Nicolò Bassetti’s story of four Italian trans masculine friends on a journey of self-discovery as they explore their gender identities within the limits of society and the medical system. In Italian with subtitles. 🇮🇹

“Koromousso, Big Sister” is Habibata Ouarme and Jim Donavan’s documentary about a small community of West African Canadian women as they learn to love their own bodies and heal their minds after growing up in a society that cuts female sexuality. In French and English with subtitles. 🇫🇷

“Raising Liberty Square” is Katja Esson’s documentary about a Miami public-housing community fighting back against “urban renewal” that is basically a form of racist gentrification. Their community is on Miami’s highest ground. Filmmaker Q&As on June 2 at 6:30pm. 🇺🇸
