HUMAN RIGHTS FILM FESTIVAL OF MADRID

The Koubek Center and the Spanish Cultural Center of Miami present, for the second year in a row, a
selection of films from the Human Rights Film Festival of Madrid. The event, featuring films
from Europe, Latin America and Africa. The mission of the Human Rights Film Festival of Madrid is “To
disseminate cinema that makes us reflect, awakens consciences, denounces injustices and reflects the
social and cultural diversity of humanity. In the collective search for a sustainable humanity.”
This year’s festival addresses issues of global reach such as migration, gender violence, or the control of
food by multinational corporations but then, it also explores more personal matters, such as bullying, or
the fight for respect and the right to a good life by those some states and institutions judge as
“different.”

The selection features films ranging in length from one to 37 minutes, include both
documentaries and works of fiction. All films are in Spanish with English subtitles.
