The Human Rights Arts and Film Festival is a not-for-profit arts organisation committed to uncovering human rights issues through film and art. The festival has grown to be one of the most important human rights festivals in the world.
Our 2019 festival aims to make human rights accessible, relevant and significant for all Australians. We want to be seen as an important platform for the vulnerable and the voiceless by telling their stories. We see ourselves as an important, and unparalleled, catalyst for social change.
The Art for Human Rights Christmas Auction and our online fundraisers are critical to running the 2019 festival and we hope to see you supporting these campaigns.
