Virtual reality

For the second year running, the Human Rights Film Festival presents this selection of short films à la carte. Virtual reality and immersive experiences have become hugely powerful audiovisual tools for denouncing human rights infringements all over the world and for generating empathy. This selection looks at a new way of addressing human rights with fourteen pieces representative of what has been done in this field.
