The FIFDH rethinks its entire 2021 edition
Dear Future Children by Franz Böhm
Now at its 19th edition, Geneva’s International Film Festival and Forum on Human Rights (FIFDH), the biggest international event dedicated to this particular field, is once again having to contend with the pandemic, revising its entire programme. It’s a challenge which the festival’s director
Isabelle Gattiker describes as an opportunity to experiment and to discover films outside of those screened, thanks to the creation of original sound and video content in the form of a daily radio programme, a series of podcasts intitled “Utopia3” and a new section, “Activist Voices”, which comprises a series of video testimonials. Indeed, this need felt by the festival to draw in new audiences and to make the event even more inclusive has given rise to a new prize: the Audience Award.
