The Human Rights Watch Film Festival returns to MoPA for a second year with a series of seven films the New York Times calls, the "cinematic conscience of the world." The four-day fest runs Friday, January 20 through Monday, January 23, at the Museum of Photographic Arts in Balboa Park.
The festival is being billed as, "the world’s foremost showcase for films with a distinctive human rights theme." In order to develop a continuing dialog, each of the films screened will be followed by a Q&A. The San Diego Latino Film Festival is co-sponsoring the event and our old friend, SDLFF founder and director Ethan van Thillo, will be on hand to field questions following the screening of Youth Producing Change on January 23.
Below is the lineup of films being screened. Tickets are $4 for MOPA Members, $6 for students, seniors and military service members, and $8 for the general public. Festival passes are $15 for MOPA Members, $25 for students, seniors and military service members and $35 for the general public.
