]]> HRAFF logoFilms can do many things. They can entertain us, amuse us, terrify us, and help us escape from our daily lives for a few hours. But they can work on a much deeper level than that. The films screening at the Human Rights Arts and Film Festival are set to inspire, touch, educate, and motivate their audience.

The festival will launch on Thursday night with a screening of a selection of short films. These include Podlove, Go Quickly, A Shift in Perception, Norbert, and more. The night will also include speeches by festival patrons Margaret Pomeranz and Justice Michael Kirby. The acclaimed Sydney Street Choir will also perform.

This is a great way to celebrate the contributions of Australia’s human rights community and enjoy some fine films and entertainment at the same time.
