International Film Festival and Forum
on Human Rights
The FIFDH is dedicated to both cinema and the promotion of human rights. Each year, in Geneva and in parallel with the main session of the UN Human Rights Council, the Festival presents films and hosts discussions, during ten days.
The 25th edition of the Geneva International Film Festival and Forum on Human Rights will take place from 5 to 14 March, 2027.
In the meantime, the Festival lives on with its Agenda +365 — a programme of events held throughout the year.
