To adapt to the pandemic, The Geneva International Forum and Film Festival on Human Rights (FIFDH) was held for the second consecutive year online. A virtual set was put in place to broadcast numerous meetings and debates from some of the most known defenders of human rights, like Angela Davis and Ai Weiwei. Many more were also present online.
Euronews spoke to Isabelle Gattiker, FIFDH General and Artistic Director. She told us that people are feeling that "the spaces for debate around human rights are shrinking" and that "the news has literally been sucked up by the pandemic". It is her strong belief that the FIFDH festival "is one of the few spaces that has remained across the globe". She says that this is reflected in the personalities who agreed to participate in the festival this year and that they want to make their voices heard in Geneva, during the UN Human Rights Council.
