Movies that Matter for Promotion of Human Rights

August 29, 2013 By Sonia Pun

Deadline- 15 September 2013

Participants around the world are invited to submitapplications for grants offered by Movies that Matter.

Movies that Matter promotes human rights film screenings worldwide, offers advice and assistance and stimulates the exchange of knowledge and experience.

While production of films about human rights continues to flourish, there are many parts of the world where the resulting documentaries and feature films are hardly shown. Movies that Matter specifically focuses on filmprojects in developing countries -defined as DAC countries- and areas where freedom of the press is at stake. Many of the supported activities take place in upcoming democracies.

To promote human rights film screenings worldwide, Movies that Matter has provided an additional incentive for the wider distribution of human rights films.

Through its Support Programme, Movies that Matter offers modest financial assistance (up to € 5,000) to human rights film events in Africa, Asia, Latin America, the Middle East and Eastern Europe.
