International Film Festival and Forum on Human Rights

The International Film Festival and Forum for Human Rights (FIFDH) is one of the world’s most important events dedicated to film and human rights. Since 2003, it takes place each year in March, parallel to the UN Human Rights Council.

With its concept “A film, a topic, a debate”, the FIFDH is an open forum to denounce human rights violations wherever they happen. Every evening, they invite human rights activists, filmmakers and personalities to debate, confront their points of view with the audience and offer solutions. 

They have a number of competitive international sections and they have government support.
