Looking back: Fundamental Rights Forum Vienna

A heartfelt Thank You to everyone contributing last weeks Fundamental Rights Forum, making it an exciting and thought provoking gathering. We were able to witness compelling screenings and discussions, as well as instructive workshops throughout the forum.

It was a pleasure to view and discuss the films EXIT and THE CLEANERS at Stadtkino with Filmmakers and discussion partners, sharing honest opinions and insightful information, supported by an engaged audience, willing to address and challenge these highly relevant issues.

Our Workshops Human Rights Film Festivals: Zooming into local realities with Andrea Kuh, Linda Llulla and Michael Schmied & Call2Action - exploring video storytelling techniques with Claudia Modonesi and Nick Danziger brought an enjoyable opportunity to elaborate on these subjects and to engage in-depht with experts in the field.

Delighted many of you took rime and interest in the Fundamental Rights Forum, we are looking forward to future encounters with all partners and participants!
