Festival of Liberties (Brussels, Belgium)
Framework of communications, protest and artistic creations, the “Festival of Liberties" is the global expression of our permanent action of defence of rights, liberties and values of the universal democracy.
As political and cultural event, the festival proposes films, debates and conferences, concerts, theatrical performances and exhibitions to a large public.
Symbolically political observatory of the situation of the rights and liberties in the world, the festival is also a place of testimony and convergence of the democratic fights.
We are in search of films and vidéos entering the central theme of the festival: Liberties and rights of the human being
More precisely I look for realizations testifying of threats on the personal or collective freedoms, informing about the development of authoritative systems of control, attempts to establish a society under surveillance, abusive repressions and prohibitions.
A prize of 5.000 € will be awarded for the promotion of the winner and to support the distribution of the whole preselected films, I will develop the screenings by inviting the main Commissioning Editors of the public TVs of the European Union (ZDF, Arte, BBC, NOS, France 2… etc), as well as knowed distributors, to come to Brussels for viewing the films
