International Human Rights Film Festival (FICDH)

The objective of the International Human Rights Film Festival is to present the best productions which tackle the social problems related to the defenses of human rights and the environment from multiple and original points of view, promoting in this way a critical cinema that contributes to social transformation.

The point of the Festival is to generate a space for debate and reflection around human rights problems through artistic representation in the form of a documentary, fiction or animated critical piece of cinema with a social dilemma. Created as a cinematographic reunion of a competitive and international character, it takes place biannually in the city of Buenos Aires calling together producers and distributors worldwide.

Since its creation in 1997 and during the past fifteen editions, we have developed sustained activity in Argentina, Latin America, Europe and the United States, orientated towards generating, bringing together, selecting and archiving a wide quantity of audio-visual materials that deal with the vast problem of Human Rights, Development and the Environment (more than 6,000 audio-visual works up until now).
