New address and, therefore, new project for Humans Fest, this contest that wants to be a space for debate on the situation of Human Rights in the world. Among this year's novelties we find the incorporation of works of fiction within the official competition sections, traditionally dedicated to documentary. In the Official Feature Film Section we find up to seven pieces, among whose titles we will see Woman by Yann Arthus-Bertrand and Anastasia Mikova, contemporary Chile The mountain range of dreams by Patricio Guzmán, System crasher by Nora Fingscheidt, Marighella by Brazilian Wagner Moura, about the figure of the writer, politician and guerrilla Carlos Marighella, Aga’s house de Lendita Zeqiraj, o Made in Blangladesh by Rubaiyat Hossain, portrait of the custom of forced marriages and the textile industry in India. Besides, In the Short Film Section we will see works such as None by Salvador Calvo, that addresses the case of gangs in Honduras and El Salvador, exiled by Leonor Zúniga, about the abuses of the president of Nicaragua Daniel Ortega on his stepdaughter, o #Chiledespierta, about the uprisings that occurred in the Latin American country.
