Perspektive - International Human Rights Film Festival Nuremberg

Perspektive is a biennial thematic film festival. It is the first German festival to be dedicated to the subject of human rights. It is a leading forum for outstanding feature films, documentaries and animated productions, which have human rights as their main focus. The main programme, the “International Forum” looks at current trends and developments in the world’s cultures. The selected films show what sorts of conditions people are living under at the beginning of the 21st century. About ten films, selected by a committee made up of festival team members, compete for the Nuremberg International Human Rights Film Award. In addition, there is an accompanying film series, which either focuses on the work of a particular director, looks in more depth at a specific current issue or informs about the situation in a particular country.
