Cinema without Borders

Cinema without Borders is a five-day workshop and networking programme on how to organise a human rights film festival or mobile cinema project.

The programme brings together 10 to 15 emerging film festival professionals from across the globe. Participants will gain practical knowledge and get fresh ideas and possibilities to strengthen their network. By exchanging experiences and best practices, participants are inspired and assisted to further develop their own festival. The interactive workshops will address various aspects of organising a human rights film festival, such as programming films and organising debates, fundraising, impact strategies, promotion and reaching new audiences.
