Human rights. Political imprisonment, life under the terror installed by totalitarian regimes or the daily experience of racism and intolerance are not only the problems of those actually living them. They’re also ours. Especially in a country that surpassed the experience of a long period of political oppression, the question of human rights, their understanding and defense should be permanently a present one. All these issues will form the focus of the Documentary Film Festival organized by the Czech Centre Bucharest together with One World Prague, Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung, Embassy of the Czech Republic, Romanian National Film Archive, ARCUB and the Royal Embassy of the Netherlands, under the patronage of the Rule of Law Program South East Europe.
The organizers' wish is to contribute in this way to the public debate on the role that Romanian citizens and Romania can and should have in the promotion of and support for human rights in a globally interconnected world.
We hope our initiative will find a receptive, open-minded public and the festival will increase awareness at social level and will positively influence the consideration afforded to human rights.
During the festival more than 40 documentaries from 20 countries will be screened in 5 locations (Czech Centre, Cinema Eforie, Cinema Union, Hungarian Cultural Centre, Museum of the Romanian Peasant).
Thematical programs: Globalization in Action; Justice - with or without; Quest for Identity; (No) Way Out? Dictatorships of the 21st Century; Being a Woman; My Everyday Religion; Children in our World; Documentaries for Children (special program for the 1st of June).
