Human Rights Film Festival

October 4-6
Fifth Annual Human Rights Film Festival
Shemin Auditorium, Shaffer Art Building

The three-day film festival features dynamic documentaries on social justice issues from across the globe, including Palestine, Rwanda, India, and Nicaragua. Traditionally focused on South Asia, the festival has been expanded this year to cover Asia, Africa, South America and beyond. Screenings are free and open to the public. Films and times are available at http://symposium.syr.edu/film.html Co-sponsored by the Syracuse Symposium, the South Asia Center in the Maxwell School’s Daniel Patrick Moynihan Institute for Global Affairs, U. Encounter, and the South Asian Student Association in collaboration with Breakthrough, an international human rights organization. For more information, contact Kandice Salomone at (315) 443-7192 or salomone@syr.edu.

The symposium link has the full schedule of events... some of them look pretty interesting and relevant. I also know the professor than organizes this festival pretty well, so if we were particularly interested in viewing I could ask her about it. And best of all-- the whole festival is free! I've been for the past three years, and it's always a good job.
