FIFDH for Schools 2026 — discover the selection !
Aimed at secondary school classes, the FIFDH selection for Schools will be held at the Cinémas du Grütli from 9 to 13 March 2026. The 12 screenings of the programme will be followed by discussions between pupils, filmmakers and protagonists.
This edition of FIFDH for Schools weaves a sensitive map of human rights, where collective history is told through personal journeys. Struggles for gender equality and for workers’ rights, migration journeys, memories of violence and climate change show how political and social dynamics shape lives and family ties. At the heart of this programme, which brings together five feature films and two short films, intimacy asserts itself as a space of resistance in the face of the fractures of the contemporary world.
Please kindly note that the FIFDH for Schools is held entirely in French.
The FIFDH for Schools team looks forward to welcoming you during the Festival!
