About Program
The Summer School in Cinema, Human Rights and Advocacy is a training initiative jointly developed by the Global Campus of Human Rights and Picture People, which will take place at the Global Campus Headquarters in Venice Lido, Italy.
The school offers an exciting programme of lectures, workshops, working groups, tutorials, film screenings and discussions combining human rights expertise, media studies and video advocacy strategies. As part of the programme participants are required to watch and analyse a selection of human rights related screenings at the 79th 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. Participants 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.
