HUMAN Rights Film Festival of America

HUMAN Rights Film Festival of America Our festival will always place content as the primary tool in selecting and judging all submissions. Film is an incredible medium to fight injustice.

The Human Rights Film Festival of America will create the platform needed to spread and share information for those who are unheard, for those who are unseen and for those who are uncounted. With all the injustice happening around the world, the responsibilities of filmmakers have multiplied five folds.

With the installation of a new 70mm projector, the historic Alex Theatre in LA will welcome audiences back to film screenings for the first time in decades.

It marks a revival of sorts, and it's all thanks to Christopher Nolan and 'The Odyssey.'
