Karama Human Rights Film Festival - organized by Ma3mal 612 Think Factory - announces the launch of its activities for the year 2024. The 15th Edition will be from 5 to 12 December 2024.
The theme of this edition is Justice
We view films as powerful tools of resistance and as unwavering testimonies of resilience in the quest for justice, particularly for the Palestinian people. Under the bold banner "Justice for the Peoples of the Global South," we are dedicated to interrogating centuries of colonial, racial, and environmental injustice.
We call upon filmmakers to present films that champion justice for all: justice for the Global South, social justice, and environmental awareness. Amidst the challenges of our new era, where monopolies are further fortified with the powers of technology and AI, we re-assert that justice is the bedrock of human dignity, social equality, and land rights.
Together, let us ignite a cinematic movement that strives for human dignity.
We stand as witnesses and agents of change.
