Another inspiring edition of the Summer School in Cinema, Human Rights and Advocacy has just come to an end. During these days, our Global Campus of Human Rights Press Office actively followed the 82nd Venice International Film Festival, Biennale Cinema, attending press conferences, screenings and collateral events, including the Premio Kinéo, where the Premio Kinéo & GCHR Award was presented to Monica Guerritore for her social and humanitarian engagement.
We congratulate all the participants of the Summer School, the filmmakers, and the winners of Venezia 82 and Orizzonti. Thank you for sharing with us the power of cinema as a tool for dialogue and human rights advocacy.
Waiting for another edition of our CHRA and #Venezia83!
