Autumn
Human Rights Film Festival (AHRF)
AHRF is an
international films festival focusing on the subject of human rights. It aims
to encourage film makers who use their cameras to document struggles against
discrimination, injustice and violence.
We have
been working towards this festival since 2009 and we are delighted that the
first Human Rights Film Festival will open in Kabul on 1-7 October, 2011.
The
festival is being organised by the Afghanistan Cinema Club with the support of
various national and international organizations. It aims to be a hub for film
makers and artists working despite of censorship in their countries and whose
works are restricted from public screenings.
The AHRF is
a platform to share the works of film makers and artists who have unfortunately
been marginalized by the authority. It
will present stories of lives affected by war, discrimination and injustice.
These stories are of people who have resisted oppression and fought against
violence to create a more humane world.
