Our 2023 annual festival trailer
That critical nexus of cultural expression and the bold and brave storytelling by artists, filmmakers and musicians are the heart and soul of the Human Rights Arts & Film Festival. It’s why we exist – engaging and inspiring audiences on human rights issues through art, film, music and conversation, which flows through to the partnerships and relationships that we nurture.
