The Human Rights Film Festival was founded in 2003 as an initiative of the San Sebasti\u00e1n City Council and is organized by the city\u2019s Human Rights Department and Donostia Kultura. Since then, it has evolved very positively: in 2006, the Short Film Section became competitive, awarding Best Short Film to \u2018Bawke\u2019<\/em> (Hisham Zaman; Norway, 2004). Since then, new recognitions have been introduced. In the latest edition, in addition to the Festival Award, the lineup included four prizes: the Youth Jury Award for Best Short Film, the Audience Award for Best Feature Film, the Amnesty International Award, and the EITB Award for Best Basque Short Film.<\/p>\n The festival takes place at the Victoria Eugenia Theatre as its main venue (just a 5-minute walk from Hotel Parma<\/strong>) and at the Principal Theatre (7 minutes on foot). Screenings will also be held in other locations such as Okendo Kultur Etxea and Tabakalera, where the \u201cCinema and Memory\u201d series will take place.<\/p>\n Some standout titles include:<\/p>\n This is not only an appropriate festival, but a necessary one in the times we live in.

Through this festival, Donostia understands \u201ccinema as a powerful and universal tool, highlighting the power of images to raise awareness, move audiences, and even change the world.\u201d This spirit is clearly reflected in this year\u2019s program, which addresses topics such as the role of women in religions, the climate emergency in Bangladesh, and the feminization of precarious work in the textile industry. There will also be spaces for discussion and sessions for younger audiences.<\/p>\n\n
