The festival also includes programmes combining visual media with discussions about filmmaking and human rights between Human Rights Watch experts and human rights advocates including Charif Kiwan, spokesman for the Syrian film collective Abounaddara, the filmmakers Kim Longinotto and James Brabazon, and photographers Giles Duley and Zalmaï.
