Announcing the 10th United Nations Association Film Festival. UNAFF,
which is now completing its first decade, was originally conceived to celebrate
the fiftieth anniversary of the signing of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
It was created with the help of members of the Stanford Film Society and United Nations
Association Midpeninsula Chapter, a grassroots, community-based, nonprofit organization.
The 10th UNAFF will be held from October 24-28, 2007 at Stanford University.
The theme for this year is CAMERA AS WITNESS.
UNAFF celebrates the power of films and videos dealing with human rights, environmental survival, women’s issues, protection of refugees, homelessness, racism, disease control, universal education, war and peace. Documentaries often elicit a very personal, emotional response that encourages dialogue and action by humanizing global and local problems. To further this goal, UNAFF hosts academics and filmmakers from around the world to discuss the topics in the films with the audience, groups and individuals who are often separated by geography, ethnicity and economic constraints. Last year UNAFF jurors carefully reviewed over three hundred submissions.
Our final program consisted of thirty one films related to issues from Afghanistan, Albania, Australia, Brazil, Cambodia, Canada, Colombia, China, Congo, Ethiopia, Germany, France, India, Indonesia, Iran, Iraq, Israel, Kenya, Mexico, Nepal, Nicaragua, Pakistan, Palestine, Peru, Russia, Rwanda, Sierra Leone, Spain, the UK and the USA.

by no other Secretary General and by no other
Swede," according to Peter Wallensteen, the
Dag Hammerskjold professor of Peace and
Conflict Resolution at Uppsala University.
Recognized for his efforts, Hammerskjold was
awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1961. Who,
then, was Secretary General Hammarskjold? What
made him unique? Did he have creative qualities,
or was he shaped by the global political
conditions that prevailed in his day? Please
join the World Affairs Council as Ambassador
Wachtmeister journeys to America to commemorate
the 40th anniversary death of Dag Hammarskjold. |
