As part of the programme, participants are required to watch and analyse a selection of human rights-related screenings at the 79^th Venice International Film Festival. Whenever possible, filmmakers and producers present at the film festival are invited to discuss their work with the Summer School participants. Those taking part will be provided with a “Cinema” category accreditation pass to the film festival, giving access to a selection of screenings.

This year’s programme is focusing on the rights of children and young people in the broader framework of human rights protection and promotion.

Nick Danziger and Claudia Modonesi, Picture People’s directors, will run the ten-day programme with contributions from experts in the fields of human rights, advocacy, film studies, film production and impact, and psychology.

Graduates, human rights professionals, media outlets, NGOs, advocacy and the third (voluntary) sector, and anyone who uses or is interested in using audiovisual media as a tool for promoting social change, are encouraged to apply to the school.

Global Campus is accepting applications until 30 May. Please click here to apply.
