On the occasion of the 60th anniversary of the declaration on human rights, the Vienna based Schikaneder and Top Cinema will be hosting the first International Human Rights Film Festival in Austria: this human world
Outstanding and remarkable current productions on the issue of Human Rights as well as Austrian premieres of award-winning international films will be shown during 10 days.
this human acts as an independent film festival that tends not to ignore any of film genres dealing with human rights, but rather to select the exceptional and late-breaking artworks. Henceforward this human world will be held every year to promote education on human rights issues through the medium film. The festival intends to reinforce the attention and sensibility of the Austrian public for contemporary films on these explosive and problematic topics. From today's educational and political perspective the confrontation with human rights in film embedded in a yearly film festival is a necessary enrichment for a city like Vienna, where artists, intellectuals, and many others are mingling.
To date Austria has been lacking a film festival that deals with the globally discussed topic of human rights in the form of an annual international film festival, and its respective discussion in the media.
The inauguration of this human world will take place on December 2, 2008 at the Vienna Filmcasino.
