Many audiovisual and cinema celebrities recently affirmed support to the respsecting of human rights . “Much has been done, but we need to do more and do so quickly”.
The Special Project “Social Cinema Forum 2019 – Respecting the Human Rights” wants in fact to focus on the respect of the human rights, topic that is right now discussed more than ever, considering the political-social situation of this times. Inequality, discrimination, slavery, torture, death penalty, exploitation in work, violence against women and children, censorship, repression of dissent, war, persecution: trying to fill up the deepest gap that separates the ideals of the humans rights from the realities that violet them, is what today has to be done, following the same Universal Declaration of Human Rights that this year is going to turn 71 years. The Special Project “Social Cinema Forum 2019 – Respecting the Huma Rights” wants to call the international medias and the common sensibility to look at the topic that has to be the basis of every human relationship: the respect of the human being as a citizen and a free person, with specific rights that has to be defended, even if sometimes it doesn’t happen, in a society that doesn’t show so frequently positives changes regarding it. We ask filmmakers to describe present times, share stories of people, images and suggestions on this subject. The contest is open to filmmakers from all over the world.
