The theme of the year-long campaign marking the 60th Anniversary of Universal Declaration of Human Rights informs our six-week evening course this term. With a range of titles covering aspects of human rights, the Anniversary is an ideal opportunity for us to engage with filmmakers and human rights practitioners on the significance of this genre of filmmaking.

Our course will feature six documentaries, previously unscreened in Ireland. Each evening, a special guest from the world of film or human rights will speak on the film and their own work. The course will be of interest to IFI members and friends, film enthusiasts, human rights workers and all who are interested in challenging and provocative cinema.
