International

We support film screenings in developing countries and countries where freedom of press is at stake. We not only train and give advice concerning the organisation and programming, but also financially support these film screenings abroad for example in the form of mobile cinema projects and film festivals.

Other Human Rights Film Festivals and Organisations

To promote awareness and debate on human rights worldwide, Movies that Matter cooperates with many other film festivals. Festivals serve as a unique platform for artists, journalists, activists, policy makers and civil society organisations to freely exchange opinions and ideas. Besides festivals, there are several other film organisations with great social impact and relevance for human rights.

We would like to highlight a number of prominent and emerging film festivals, organisations and networks from all over the world via the drop-down menu below.
