HUMAN RIGHTS HUMAN WRONGS 5 YEARS!
Welcome to the fifth edition of the Human Rights
Human Wrongs Documentary Film Festival. Six
days with exceptional films, guests, talks and debates about the current state of human rights and
human rights filmmaking in Norway and the world.
Velkommen til Human Rights Human Wrongs 2013.
Dette er den femte festivalen i rekken og er derfor
vårt første jubileum. Vi tror at en filmfestival er
den beste måten skape nærhet til og en dypere
forståelse for menneskerettighetsutfordringer
her i Norge og i verden. Festivalen feirer femårsjubileet på Parkteatret, Cinemateket, Ringen Kino,
I år fokuserer vi på mennesker som lever som
utstøtte, på ytringsfrihet, på protestbevegelser i
skyggen av den arabiske våren og på sammenhengen mellom gjeld og menneskerettigheter.
Kom, se filmer og bli med i debatten!

THEMES FOR THE 5th HUMAN RIGHTS HUMAN WRONGS
DOCumentary FILM FESTIVAL
human rights human wrongs themes
Outcasts De utstøtte
Millions of people in the world are considered outcasts only because we see them as different
than ourselves. Dalits (untouchables), Roma people, sexual minorities and unwanted refugees are
only some of these. Why do we maintain mechanisms and structures that reproduce mentalities
which enable us to dehumanize others, making
them outcasts?
Romfolket forfølges i Europa og her hjemme får
ikke mindreårige asylsøkere de rettighetene de har
krav på. Millioner av mennesker anses som daliter
– urørbare - i land som India og Bangladesh. Dette
handler ikke bare om daliter, romfolk, seksuelle
minoriteter eller asylsøkere, men om utstøtelse,
dehumanisering og stigmatisering. Hvordan kan
vi skape et samfunn som inkluderer alle?
Payback / Economic injustice
Økonomisk urettferdighet
What is the relation between debt and human
rights? Who is in debt to whom in the globalized
economy? We want to focus on the Human Rights
Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights
and look at two subtopics: climate and debt.
Hva er sammenhengene mellom gjeld og menneskerettigheter? Hvem står i gjeld til hvem i den
6
globaliserte økonomien? Sivile og politiske rettigheter får langt større oppmerksomhet i debatter
om menneskerettigheter enn konvensjonen om
økonomiske, sosiale og kulturelle rettigheter. Vi
har valgt å fokusere på to undertemaer til denne
konvensjonen: klima og gjeld. Begge temaer
skaper store debatter i internasjonale forhandlingsprosesser. Hva betyr det at utviklingsland skylder
penger til industrialiserte land, og hva innebærer
det at industrialiserte land skylder utviklingsland å
betale klimaregningen?
Protest Movements
Protestbevegelser
The Arab Spring gave a new legitimacy to protest
movements and a belief that they could actually
create political change. We look at protests that
more often than not take place outside the media
spotlight. What characterizes protest movements
in Angola, Tibet, Belarus and Russia?
Den arabiske våren ga en ny legitimitet til folkelige
protestbevegelser, og troen på at de faktisk
kunne skape regimeendring. Vi ser på protestene
som finner sted utenfor medienes søkelys. Hva
kjennetegner protestbevegelsene sør for Sahara,
Tibet, Hviterussland og Russland? Hvordan kan det
internasjonale samfunnet være med å støtte opp
om protestbevegelser som kjemper for demokratiske endringer?

The filmmakers travelled thousands of miles in Tibet, asking and

about China and about the Dalai
Lama. The answers are frank and
powerful. The filmmakers were arrested after finishing the film.
Discussion between the films

Tibet 1 includes two

Chinese authorities say that the
Tibetans are living happy and
prosperous lives fully enjoying
religious, cultural and social rights
and freedom of expression. The
Tibetans claim that everything
Tibetan is under attack and call
China’s repressive policies a
“cultural genocide”. Whom are we
to believe – and what is the real
situation in Tibet right now?”

protests against the authorities.
In Tibet dozens have set fire to

Chinese government. What can

rich countries such as Norway

Why is so little being done in these

Norwegian Subtitles – discussion in Norwegian
The Gulabi Gang drar fra landsby til
landsby og hjelper kvinner som blir
dårlig behandlet, i saker hvor politiet verken vil eller kan gjøre jobben
sin. Håpet er å tvinge fram sosial
forandring i det indiske samfunnet:
Bedre forhold for de kasteløse og
bedre forhold for alle kvinner.
Diskusjon etter filmen med Mala
Wang-Naveen, Gro Lindstad og
Eldrid Mageli
Gratis indisk lunsj i loungen på
Ringen kino etter diskusjonen.
I samarbeid med SAIH

Tone Andersen, Sant og Usant, Norge 2012, 58 min, English subtitles
The whole village throws a homecoming party for them: the young
boys from the West Bank who’ve
been held as political prisoners in
Israel for months, sometimes even
years - just because they threw
rocks at Israeli soldiers. After the
festivities, the boys have to learn
to cope with their traumatic arrest
and their time in jail, where their
rights as minors were completely
ignored.
Q&A with director Tone Andersen
after the screening.
In collaboration with Sant og
Usant.
