For over 25 years, the FIFDH has been a leading international festival dedicated to socially engaged cinema. Held annually in Geneva alongside the main session of the United Nations Human Rights Council, the Festival brings together filmmakers, activists, decision-makers, and diverse audiences to explore the major challenges of our time. Through films and forums, it shines a spotlight on pressing global issues and amplifies the voices of those defending human rights around the world.
