At the Human Rights Forum, we offer three days of deep-dives on three key topics:
- Impact Day: what is impact producing and what opportunities does it hold? How can films be used as a catalyst for social change
- Hungry For Change: How can we win the fight against hunger? The focus is on the question of transforming food systems and the right to food in the light of (forward-looking) humanitarian aid.
- Positive Future Scenarios: A roundtable discussion on bioeconomy and sustainable development in the Amazon region.
For the first time we are offering a three-day workshop for young adults (aged 16-34). Together with experts in video production, journalism, and creative writing, you will work in a group to develop a multimedia project where you can incorporate your fears, concerns, and frustrations regarding climate anxiety. For more information and registration, please visit here.

How does the KulturPass work?
The KulturPass is a program offered by the German government for individuals who turn 18 years old in 2023. If this applies to you, you can register on the KulturPass website and secure a credit of 200 euros, which you can use for various cultural events, books, CDs, etc., or even for purchasing your tickets at the Human Rights Film Festival. Please note that tickets with the KulturPass credit can only be purchased on site at the participating cinemas.
Our partner, Eventive, provides a comprehensive FAQ regarding the technical requirements to ensure a smooth streaming experience for the films available online.
You'll likely find answers to your questions there.
The Human Rights Film Festival Berlin strives to operate as sustainably as possible as a major event in Berlin. This includes the decision not to produce new lanyards this year. Therefore, we kindly ask all invited guests and speakers to bring their own lanyard (neck strap) or something similar.
We appreciate your support in creating a sustainable community.
Students, university students, trainees, volunteers in voluntary service, BerlinPass holders, voluntary workers, pensioners, freelance filmmakers and artists are eligible for discounted tickets.
The equal participation of all in culture and political discourse is a human right.
We do our best to fulfil this right with our resources. Nevertheless, unfortunately not all events of the festival are accessible for everyone.
