Jack Mapanje - Day 2 Keynote presentation

Learning through Film: Human Rights in Scotland

This presentation and discussion by Nick Higgins was an insight into the power film has to communicate ideas and to educate. By using Douglas Gordon's The Right Not to be Tortured as an example, the discussion demonstrated the deep and complex ideas that cinematic techniques can portray.

Conference Exhibition - Mapping Street Art in Athens

Painting Human Rights: Mapping Street Art in Athens by Myrto Tsilimpounidi & Aylwyn Walsh.

This presentation was really more of a discussion about the street art featured in the photographs. This lead to a wide converstion about the use of street art and the elements that draw people to it.

Also a short video interview with Myrto & Awlwyn will be uploaded soon.

Carole Roy - Documentary Film Festivals

 

Captivating talk from Carole Roy about the positive effects that film festivals can have, especially in smaller communities. It brought to light how hosting such events can give an alternative message to that which is delivered by mainstream media. What was really interesting however, is the effects that those messages have on the community, once they have been delivered.

A short interview with Carole will soon be uploaded.
