HUMAN International Documentary Film Festival presents two competition programs. One for new Norwegian documentaries (with no restraints on topic), and one for International documentaries concerning human rights related topics. The Norwegian films have been submitted and pre-selected by a jury, while the international competition program is curated.

Besides these two competition programs we also have a large film program outside of competition, with a wide selection of international documentaries on any topic imaginable.

International Competition Program

The international competition program consists of up to 10 documentaries focusing on human rights issues. The winner will receive The Human Rights Human Wrongs Film Award and 30.000 NOK given by Amnesty International Norway and The Norwegian Helsinki Committee, two organizations that have been close partners of the festival since its beginning. With this award they wish to highlight filmmakers’ efforts to make a human rights case better known to an international audience.

The International competition program is curated. For questions, please contact the festival administration.
