The FIFDH has been committed to cinema and respect for human rights for 22 years. Every year, in the heart of international Geneva and in parallel with the main session of the UN Human Rights Council, the Festival offers films and debates. These highlight struggles and denounce violations wherever they occur.

We are convinced that a film, a voice, a story, carried by an individual or a group, can shake up consciences, spark new ideas and commitments, in order to lead to social change.

Three international feature film competitions – fiction and documentary – offer a selection of committed films, in the presence of the filmmakers and protagonists. Films are at the heart of the FIFDH's programming, as much for their artistic impact as for the themes they address. They invite engagement and encounters between guests and multiple audiences.
