The Valencia International Film and Human Rights Festival, <strong>Humans Fest<\/strong>, has announced news for its <strong>XIII edition<\/strong>, which this year will focus on the <strong>migration<\/strong> and the <strong>shelter<\/strong> from a <strong>anti-racist and gender perspective<\/strong>. To this end, it will bring a selection of cinematographic and documentary works that citizens will be able to enjoy in different spaces around the city. \u201cWe aspire to move, outrage and mobilize the widest and most diverse audience possible,\u201d explains Jos\u00e9 M\u00aa Tom\u00e1s y T\u00edo, president of <strong>Foundation for Justice<\/strong>, the organizing entity.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The XIII Humans Fest will be led by the journalist <strong>Majo Siscar<\/strong>, who in 2022 will make her debut as director of the festival together with a team made up of journalists <strong>Cristina Vivo<\/strong>, as production coordinator, <strong>Pilar Almenar<\/strong>, as awareness coordinator, and <strong>Laura Bellver<\/strong>, as communications coordinator. All of them are firmly committed to claiming the <strong>cinema<\/strong> as a tool of <strong>incidence<\/strong>, <strong>complaint<\/strong> y <strong>debate<\/strong>.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>In the words of Majo Siscar: \u201cEurope systematically violates human rights in its migration policies. At the borders, in the CIEs, in a control industry that kills. Just trying to reach Spain, in 2021, 12 people died every day. That&#039;s more than 4,000 in one year. We can&#039;t keep looking the other way.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><strong>CINEMA FOR HUMAN RIGHTS WILL GO \u201cOUT ON THE STREETS\u201d IN JUNE<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Among the news of the Humans Fest in its XIII edition is a change in the calendar, since this year it will be held <strong>from June 9 to 18<\/strong>The new date has allowed the festival to take a leap forward, organizing <strong>projections<\/strong> in squares and public venues of four <strong>neighborhoods<\/strong> from Valencia that stand out for their interculturality: <strong>Rascanya<\/strong> (Orriols-Torrefiel), <strong>The Cabanyal<\/strong>, <strong>Patraix<\/strong> y <strong>Nazareth<\/strong>.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>These will therefore be added to the usual screenings in the city centre and to parallel activities, such as different workshops with young people and people from groups in situations of exclusion. In addition, all the films will be accompanied by <strong>debate tables<\/strong> both with expert voices in cinema and with activists for the rights of migrants and racialized people.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><strong>AN OFFICIAL SECTION OPEN TO PROPOSALS<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>For their part, the <strong>basics<\/strong> registration to participate in the <strong>official section<\/strong> of the XIII Humans Fest can be consulted on the website <a href=\"http:\/\/www.humansfest.com\/bases-2022\/\">www.humansfest.com\/bases-2022\/<\/a> and on the specialised platform Festhome. The deadline will remain open for two months, that is, until 22 April at 23:59.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>In 2022 they are distinguished <strong>five categories<\/strong>: Humans Fic Awards, for the Best International Fiction Feature Films and Short Films; Humans Doc Awards, for the Best Documentary Feature Films and Short Films; Acollida Award, for the best Valencian human rights short film; and 1 minute, 1 border Award, for microfilms. In addition, a <strong>honorary prize<\/strong> to a person who stands out for his or her career in defending human rights in the audiovisual world.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>In total, they will be selected <strong>about thirty films<\/strong> between feature films and short films. According to the guidelines, these will be works that move away from the \u201cdominant security paradigm\u201d to show \u201cthe complexity of migration, from the causes to the consequences\u201d, prioritizing \u201cnew narratives\u201d and \u201ca <strong>empowering look<\/strong> of migrants that moves away from victimization and includes a <strong>intersectional perspective<\/strong>\u201d.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><strong>LOCAL, NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL CONSOLIDATION<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>However, Humans Fest is renewed in 2022 without losing the essence that has characterized it since its inception in 2008, which is also reflected in the <strong>new logo<\/strong> which debuts in this 13th edition and was created by the Valencian designer Ausi\u00e0s Tortosa. <strong>Foundation for Justice<\/strong> has managed to create a permanent space of <strong>Cultural integration<\/strong> and of <strong>social reflection<\/strong> about cinema about human rights that transcends the city&#039;s borders.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Thus, Humans Fest confirms in each edition the alliances built over years and is part of international networks such as the Human Rights Film Network. The festival is celebrated this year thanks to the contributions of, for now, the Ministry of Transparency, Social Responsibility, Participation and Cooperation; Valencia City Council; Valencian Institute of Culture; Caixa Popular and Diputaci\u00f3 de Val\u00e8ncia. It also has the collaboration of \u00c0 Punt and EMT.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>In short, Majo Siscar hopes to strengthen the brand <em>Valencia, refugee city<\/em>: \u201cWhile international administrations are reinforcing the perspective of a fortress Europe, Valencia has shown itself in recent years to be an open city, positioning itself as a city of refuge for human rights defenders from all over the world,\u201d he concludes.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>La XIII edici\u00f3n de este festival, organizado por Fundaci\u00f3n por la Justicia, se celebrar\u00e1 del 9 al 18 de junio El plazo para presentar largometrajes y cortometrajes para participar en la secci\u00f3n oficial estar\u00e1 abierto desde el 22 de febrero hasta el 22 de abril VAL\u00c8NCIA, FEBRERO DE 2022.
