Forming part of the programme “San Sebastian, Space for a Culture of Peace”, the Festival endeavours to awaken and stir the critical awareness of citizens with regard to the great many violations of human rights occurring all over the world. The aim with this event is to foster and spread values of equality, justice, solidarity, freedom and peace… with images, words, direct testimonies, contacts, experiences…
« These difficult times of worldwide economic recession oblige us to look both inwards and outwards. Near and far » says the mayor of the town « In the attempt to progress in a more human world. We cannot allow ourselves to sink into a crisis of human values cleaving an ever deeper breach in a world already wounded by injustice, violence, intolerance and unequal opportunities. »
San Sebastian, candidate for European Capital of Culture 2016, imaginatively places its stakes on this Festival combining the best movies in the world with a variety of creative activities targeting awareness among its citizens.
