The entire FIFDH team is delighted to present the posters for the 23rd edition of the Festival, from 7th to 16th March 2025! This year’s event will feature the subtle photographs of Zapotec artist Luvia Lazo: camouflaged portraits that speak to us of identity and memory, but also of transmission and care – mirroring the themes of the 2025 programme.<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

To celebrate its 23rd edition, the FIFDH presents a triptych by Mexican photographer Luvia Lazo<\/a> <\/strong>on posters designed in collaboration with Studio BAD<\/strong>.<\/a> Through her photo series Kanitlow <\/em>– “faces fade away” <\/em>in Zapotec – the artist poetically and gently documents the metamorphosis of her community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Through these portraits hidden behind botanical items such as plants and flowers, Luvia questions notions of identity, roots, mourning and collective memory. She will be taking part in the Festival as a member of the jury, alongside Palestinian filmmaker Mohamed Jabaly<\/a><\/strong> and multidisciplinary artist Baloji<\/a><\/strong><\/strong>, among others.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Preview of the 2025 edition<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

An edition between anger and tenderness<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n
\n

When confronted with the rise of far-right movements, breaches of international law, powerlessness in the face of the ongoing genocide in Gaza and other overlooked current conflicts, anger and indignation can act as driving forces for mobilisation. Yet, in order to combat inertia, not give in to paralysis, and collectively seek resources for thought, resistance and action, the 23rd edition of the FIFDH is also an invitation to reshape our societies through care, solidarity and empathy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“In a world fractured by crises, this year’s programme exposes and denounces human rights violations, sometimes with anger, echoing the voices of the committed personalities invited to the FIFDH. But it also takes a step back, one that invites to raise our gaze and ask questions: how can we protect what makes us human, what brings us together? Reflecting the programme, Luvia Lazo\u2019s work encourages us to nurture our relationships, to celebrate, and to give meaning to what unites us<\/em>,\u201d say Laura Longobardi and Laila Alonso Huarte, FIFDH editorial co-directors.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Living history, shared memory<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Winner of the 2024 IDFA, Trains <\/em><\/strong>by Marciej<\/strong> J. Drygas <\/strong>portrays 20th-century Europe by assembling images of passers-by in train stations, reflecting on the human cost of progress. To the rhythm of tracks and switches, the film questions: what path will humanity choose for itself? In Soundtrack to a Coup d’\u00c9tat <\/em><\/strong>by Johan Grimonprez<\/strong>, jazz and decolonisation intertwine to reveal Belgium\u2019s brutal colonial history and its efforts, with the help of the CIA, to hinder Congo\u2019s independence. Awarded at Sundance, this documentary was also shortlisted for the Oscars. Two artistic tours de force <\/em>that enrich the current geopolitical landscape and serve to remind us that culture is political.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
