"In the international context, climate change is often described as a crisis. But for people in my country, Bangladesh, it is more than that — it is destroying our dreams and our future. "
- Shakila Islam, Activist for climate justice during the Forum When Climate Change Forces Displacement
"We live in a world where funding war is easy, but funding healthcare is not (…). Instead of investing in care, people are led to believe the problem lies in their own minds. It’s a systemic problem."
- Claire Touzard, Journalist and author during the Forum Health: A Right or a Privilege?
"When people try to erase an entire people, the only thing that remains is the story we tell. And no one can kill that."
- Yara El-Ghadban, Author and editor of Gaza écrit Gaza during the Forum Gaza: Resisting, Bearing Witness, Creating
"What is at stake is a real colonization of the human by machines. These meta-technologies are available for all purposes, which makes their potential dominion total. And colonization means dependence: we become dependent on machines programmed by others." - Mark Hunyadi, Philosopher & professor
"The Israeli army considers cameras more dangerous than weapons. It wanted to commit this genocide with complete impunity, without being held accountable (...). We believed the images would be enough to trigger pressure. But the crimes continue."
Suhail Nassar, Director of From GAZA with LOVE
"As the Mexican proverb says, they tried to bury us, not knowing we were seeds. Daniel’s story is another seed planted in the ground, and we will keep searching for our brothers and sisters — despite Milei’s denialism" - Florencia Santucho, Co-Director of Identidad

"When organizations do the work of advocacy and awareness-raising and they are not given a voice in the media or in the public debate, it is truly a democratic failure."
- Meriam Mastour, Legal expert, human rights defender during the Forum How Can Europe Resist Re-Fascisation?
The FIFDH opens its 24th edition in Geneva for ten days of cinema and discussions. Against a backdrop of rising authoritarianism and repression, the FIFDH reaffirms its mission: to provide a space for reflection and dialogue through cinema. We look forward to seeing you there!
