Human Rights Film Night, London – UKby Rita Davidson Barnea |
 |
| Amnesty Hampstead proudly presents its Human Rights Film Night at the Tricycle Theatre, 269 Kilburn High Rd, London NW6 7JR. on Thursday September 22nd, 8.30pm. Featuring animation, documentary and fiction, this showcase of human rights related films offers a global portrait of issues related to Amnesty's campaigns, including refugees and asylum, women's human rights, and prisoners of conscience. Profits from the event will go to Amnesty International. The short films include Jafar Panahi's film ‘The Accordion’, made in Iran. It is a story of two child street musicians who find their livelihood threatened when their accordion is taken away by force, but resolve their situation in a novel way. An uplifting tale steeped with many meanings from Iranian director Jafar Panahi. internationally acclaimed for feature films such as ‘The Circle’ (winner of the Golden Lion, Venice Film Festival) and ‘Offside’, Panahi has recently been sentenced to six years' imprisonment by the Iranian regime and banned from making films for 20 years. |
