Human, Madrid Human Rights Film Festival, based in Madrid, Spain’s capital, which will celebrate its 10th annual edition, with a programme focused on human rights and freedoms.

The programme features fiction, animation, and documentary across shorts, medium-length, and features, combining emerging and established voices from diverse regions. Works are selected for their artistic quality, rigour, and thematic relevance, favouring perspectives that broaden public debate and encourage critical thinking.

The Festival is a cultural, educational, and participatory event that serves as a space for reflection and dialogue on human rights and freedoms. Alongside screenings, it offers post-screening Q&As, conversations with experts, and audience engagement activities for diverse publics — including young people and the education community. It is organized by Derechos en Acción, an independent civil-society, non-profit organization with special consultative status with ECOSOC (United Nations), committed to the promotion and defense of these principles through culture and cinema.
