The Paris Human Rights International Film Festival was created on the understanding of two basic premises. Cinema and especially documentary cinema is the most efficient tool to raise awareness on Human Rights and defending Human Rights across the world and the roots of Human Rights in France.
The FIFDH has, for the last 10 years, been the most important cultural manifestation on the theme of Human Rights in France. Each year, we offer directors from all over the world, the opportunity to present their work and to meet the public. From over 500 films that are watched each year, we select about 20 works of which the majority will be shown as a preview.
