8th Human Rights Film Festival Zurich

RFK Human Rights will once again be official education partner of the Human Rights Film Festival Zürich. The 8th edition will take place from 1 - 6 December 2022 at Kino Kosmos in Zurich. Over the course of six days, artistically strong films that explore human rights issues will be shown while avoiding stereotypes or moralistic finger-pointing. RFK Human Rights will provide a wholesom educational experience for two films.

During the day, the Human Rights Film Festival Zurich shows films for young people, which can be prepared and followed up in class developed and provided for by RFK Human Rights. Through the school screenings, we raise awareness of film making and human rights among students and teachers.

The program is aimed at Zurich secondary schools, vocational schools, grammar schools and art schools and gives young people the opportunity to see and understand films that are challenging in terms of art and content. In this way, we contribute to a reflective and critical approach to moving images in our society and arouse the curiosity of young people for their own, but also other, worlds.

The two films that RFK Human Rights is especially promoting this year are:

ANIMAL | Doc | from 2nd Sek.
What to do about climate change and species extinction? Two young people search the world for answers to the urgent questions of their time. And draw hope for their future. https://bit.ly/3wtiIWG
