Program

THE BOLD AND THE FURIOUS

The events during recent years have proved that the tension is rising all over Europe and the globe. Economic crisis, migration flows, disappointment in democratically elected representatives lays a perfect soil for the extreme-right movements to grow. They offer quick solutions to solve rising problems, clearly identify their enemies and are not willing to negotiate. Nevertheless the line between the love for the homeland and aggressive hate towards anyone "different" is very fragile. The festival program "The Bold and the Furious" tries to analyze the rising right-wing movements, the reasons for their upraise  and foresee the possible consequences of it.

FOR DIVERSITY, AGAINST DISCRIMINATION

Every year human rights film festival „Ad Hoc: Inconvenient Films“ dedicate part of the program to the theme of equality of persons, which is permanent film section of the festival. Racism, xenophobia, discrimination of people with disabilities, homosexual people, and people of different religion is a part of every-day life in many countries, Lithuania is not an exception. With the support of the European Commission campaign “For diversity. Against discrimination”, the 4th edition of the festival presents nine films, which allow us to look at the reality of people, which is quite different from our-own.

THE GREEN PROGRAM

"The Green program" is slowly becoming a permanent section of the human rights film festival program. The impact of the humankind on the climate change, reckless consumption, activities of international corporations – all these questions affect the state of human rights all over the world. The long lasting situation of natural resources inevitably leads to conflicts, deprivation and violations of human rights. This year “Green program” not only presents a wide overview on the situation of the Planet Earth, but also suggests a few “good practices” that could help to reduce the impact of approaching global catastrophe.
