The Document International Human Right Film Festival was founded in 2003 by Paula Larkin and Mona Rai. Document 1 was created in response to the discrimination faced by asylum seekers and refugees in Glasgow. It was intended to challenge negative media attitudes by providing factually correct social context through the films it screened. Document’s key activity is sourcing and screening human rights documentaries and developing relationships with filmmakers and human rights organisations at home and abroad. The festival has grown from Document 1 in 2003 showing 26 films to Document 8 showing 90 films from 35 countries programmed for October 2010. Document International Human Rights Film Festival is a largely voluntary-run organisation. Volunteers work doing administration, raising funds, sourcing sponsorship and in-kind support, coordinating the main festival event itself, approaching keynote speakers, organizing panel discussions, workshops and associated photographic and music events == Themes and issues == Document Film Festival address the following themes and issues evident in their film programme and expanded through panel discussions, guest speakers, student forums, social and cultural events such as music and performance. *immigration & asylum *women *war & conflict *self-determination *racism *miscarriages of justice *eviction *poverty *social exclusion *workers/unemployed rights *mental health & social care *young people *human trafficking *indigenous cultures *environmental concerns *global policies & local consequences *LGBT rights 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Document International Human Rights Documentary Film Festival」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
