Seminar Global Justice Cinema

Documentary film is a very powerful medium in the field of global justice. It can document human rights violations, prove war crimes in court, or communicate a strong call for solidarity and action. But documentary filmmaking is never just a ‘neutral’ registration of reality. In two sessions, Professor Wouter Werner and Dr. Sofia Stolk (VU Amsterdam) invite you to explore the connection between justice, documentary film, truth and evidence with a focus on the films in the Justice Frame competition. 

Wouter Werner and Sofia Stolk work at the transnational law department at VU Amsterdam where they research and teach, amongst other things, on film and knowledge production in the context of international law, human rights, and world politics. 

A ticket to the seminar includes lunch.
