Kabul film AHRF 2015 Call for submission.festival highlights human rights, violence, drugs

 

To all filmmakers

 

After successfully organizing the first and second edition of AHRF in 2011 and 2013 now we are delighted to announce the call for entries of the third edition for 2015.

 

For the past years, there have been diverse human rights challenges in Afghanistan as well as many other parts of the world, such as war, revolution, terrorism, rape, arrest, incarceration, violence and many other humanitarian challenges. Artists’ activities have increased as the dilemmas have grown and expanded.

As we pointed out earlier, AHRF is a platform for artists who want to work on visualizing the painful effects of war, violence, discrimination and injustice and whose works have been forbidden to be screened by dictatorial regimes. It is an opportunity for those who want the world to be a better place.

The third edition of the AHRF will be held in Kabul, and some other provinces of Afghanistan between 1 to 10 December 2015 and will goes its screening to International Human Rights Week.

The festival welcomes films from any genre, short or long, documentary, feature and animation, which have been produced in 2010 and later. Submissions from any part of the globe will be accepted and referred to the selection committee, as will any kind of human rights orientation, including but not limited to: women, children, war, freedom of expression, tribal dilemmas, discrimination, injustice, violence, human trafficking, abuse, deprivation, poverty, addiction, militarism, rape, etc.

 

The films will compete into two categories: national and international, which will be judged by a committee of Afghan and international filmmakers and human rights activists. Four films will be awarded as winners at the end.

 

Yours Sincerely
AHRF Team
