Cinema, Human Rights and Advocacy Summer School - 16th Edition

Concepts like universal freedom, protection, dignity, autonomy and equity rose to the top. These ideas will form the base upon which participants in our summer school will learn to use storytelling to advance children’s rights.

Participants are gathering from around the globe in our premises to begin the in-person programming offered through a partnership between Picture People and the Global Campus of Human Rights. They are engaging in workshops on visual stories for change, view and discuss several films, meet with filmmakers, attend a theater performance and present their own project ideas.

The school is aimed at young professionals wishing to broaden their understanding on the connections between human rights, films, digital media and video advocacy, and learn how to use film as a tool for social change. Our programming is designed to provide a safe, culturally rich and collaborative environment where diversity and inclusivity are embraced, original and critical thinking is encouraged, skills are honed, creativity is unleashed and networking with experts from the human rights arena and professionals from the film industry at the Venice international Film Festival is supported. Through this work, we are preparing and inspiring a new generation of visual changemakers dedicated to delivering social change to children and young people. We hope you’ll follow along on their journey.

Side event: White Torture - Underground Poetry by 2017 Sakharov Prize Laureate Lorent Saleh

On Friday 16 July, the Global Campus of Human Rights in Venice became a torture centre welcoming activists and human rights defenders, MEPs and officials of the European Union, who experienced first-hand the cruelty of modern torture and cell isolation. With the work "White Torture - Underground Poetry", written and directed by the Sakharov Prize laureate Lorent Saleh and with the audiovisual collaboration of the Venezuelan visual artist Zoltan Kunckel, torture is presented in the form of images, textures and poems written by Saleh during his years of imprisonment and torture in Venezuela, drawing viewers into the intimacy and intense suffering of a conscientious prisoner who faces the morbidity and inclemency of an invisible torturer.

We thank the public and the actors who took part in the performance which was a Side Event of the first High Level Conference on the Global State of Human Rights.
