Human Rights Nights is an organisation founded in 2013 to promote human rights, after more than 10 years of cultural and social activity, local action and international cooperation, in partnership with Cineteca Bologna, Comune di Bologna and Università di Bologna. Recently created by the same people who organized the Human Rights Nights Festival since the beginning, this new organisation has in fact a curriculum of experience, activities and projects of many years. Human Rights Nights is a no-profit organization that aims to promote human and civil rights by giving value to cultural diversity and participation in contemporary plural society.
Our main activity is the organization of the Human Rights Nights Festival, an annual event of cinema, arts and music founded in 2001 by Giulia Grassilli (Artistic Director and Chair of Human Rights Nights). The festival’s mission is to promote respect for human rights: focusing on migration, cultural diversity, environment and active citizenship.
