About Us
HUMAN International Documentary Festival is Oslo’s largest documentary film festival presenting the newest Norwegian and international documentaries in combination with debates, talks, seminars and workshops, art exhibitions, stage performances, and more. The festival consists of two competition programmes, and a diverse film programme dedicated to human rights and other social issues.
Be Inspired
We are passionate about documentary cinema. This is reflected in the festival’s programming, resulting in festival screenings of high quality documentary films followed by directors’ talks and discussions around the topics of the films. By activating your feelings as well as your thoughts, we aim to provide you with a personal connection to the topics at hand, and to let you be inspired by human rights defenders from all corners of the world.
New Insight
When visiting the festival, you get the chance to learn and to immerse yourself in interesting and current questions. Our festival programme will give you insight into social challenges on both a global and national level.
Join the debate!
As an audience member at the film festival, you are more than welcome to join the debate and voice your opinions – regardless of your background. You will get the opportunity to talk with human rights defenders from all around the world, discuss with social scientists, politicians and journalists and other guests, about topics you are passionate about.
Community
The festival wishes to be an inclusive forum and meeting place for activists, experts, politicians, filmmakers and others interested in current social issues, where you can network and experience that there is room for opinion sharing.
Challenge Yourself
The film festival seeks to challenge preconceptions and assumptions. Documentary film is particularly good at challenging established assumptions, start debates, engaging audiences, and creating an important window into different perspectives of our society and the world.
