Human rights issues have been controversial since our communities started developing and becoming aware of ourselves and it has been more difficult, deeper and more profound, to find the right thoughts for human beings.
This time, the North Dakota Human Rights Films and Arts Festival (NDHRFF) will be held at the Fargo Theater in Fargo, North Dakota on November 16 – 17, 2017 and the festival is currently accepting early bird submissions for juried exhibition.
It is a great chance to deliver and show your ideas of human rights to world-wide viewers. The North Dakota Human Rights Film and Arts Festival educates and engages the topic of human rights, through the works of filmmakers and artists around the world.
For the purpose, the festival encourages filmmakers and artists who have created and produced their works to engage human rights by submitting their works to the festival.
The North Dakota Human Rights Arts Festival will be exhibited on November 13, 2017 through January 4, 2018 at the Spirit Room in Fargo. A public reception and awards ceremony is on Saturday, November 18 from 6 to 8:30pm at the Spirit Room.
The North Dakota Human Rights and Arts Festival is accepting a variety of art mediums from both 2D and 3D artists such as sculptors, ceramists, painters, photographers, and more.
There are no requirements or qualifications to participate. Professionals and students are both welcomed to be a part of the festival.
The festival has receiving narrative and documentary submissions from over 10 countries, including Belgium, Canada, Germany, France, Iran, Israel, Nepal, the Russian Federation, the Syrian Arab Republic, Timor Leste and the United States.
As 2017 is an inaugural year for the Human Rights and Arts festival, their goal was to stimulate conversation with local and regional filmmakers and artists. The film festival is enriching the awareness of human rights and social justice communities. The North Dakota Human Rights and Arts Festival is not only about exhibitions but generating topics of human rights within vast international communities.
Early bird entries for the festival run through July 3, 2017. The final deadline for submitting works is October 13, 2017. Submissions for the festival are available online at the festival’s website, www.ndhrff.org.
