In selecting films for the festival, Human Rights Watch concentrates equally on artistic merit and human rights content. The festival encourages filmmakers around the world to address human rights subject matter in their work and presents films from both new and established international filmmakers. Though the festival rules out films that contain unacceptable inaccuracies of fact, we do not bar any films on the basis of a particular point of view.

We previously reported that Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky would appear via video to address the audience on the festival's final night. Zelensky will instead send a message by text to be read by the festival's host and creative director, Amadeus.
Some members of the Italian press had previously reported that Rai was unwilling to air a potentially controversial video message from Zelensky, but the public broadcasters clarified at the festival press conference that it was the Ukrainian ambassador to Italy who requested the shift to a text format.

The Human Rights Watch Film Festival, now in its 34th year, will present a full edition of 10 groundbreaking new films nationwide in the United States, from May 31 to June 11, 2023. The New York festival will be back with a full program of in-person screenings at Film at Lincoln Center and IFC Center, with in-depth discussions with filmmakers, film participants, journalists, activists and Human Rights Watch researchers.
As always, the festival strives to prioritize making space for a wide variety of identities, viewpoints and forms of expertise and experiences either silenced or marginalized in the film industry, news and media. The festival is also committed to expanding inclusivity for audience members to enjoy the events together and is working to create features that more people can access. The majority of the festival films this year will be audio-described and play with captions, with live transcription for the conversations to follow.
Virtual tickets can be purchased online for each film for $9 for the General Public and $6 for Members (visit Members Corner for discount code), or a digital festival pass that will provide access to all 10 films online can be purchased for $70.
We do not want the cost of entry to be a barrier for participation in the festival. If the price of buying a ticket to this festival title would prevent you from participating, please email the following address ([email protected]) + you will receive an auto-reply email with a free ticket code for digital titles as well as instructions on how to request a free in-person ticket. We have set aside a set # of tickets per film on a first come first-served basis. Once the free tickets are no longer available, the code will no longer work. For anyone that purchases a ticket, we appreciate your support. Your ticket purchase enables us to make tickets free for those who might otherwise be unable to watch. This also allows the festival to support the filmmakers for sharing their work in our festival and for the festival to cover the cost of hosting the films online.
