The Stories on Human Rights

Last Monday (May 4th), I had been to FCCT, The Foreign Correspondents' Club of Thailand, in order to attend film displays which are 22 short films about stories on Human Rights. The event was organized to commemorate the 60th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR).

The films were produced from various film makers around the world and categorized into six themes: culture, development, dignity and justice, environment, gender, and participation. Some films locally reflect the rights based on country, so they may not be able to understand easily. However, many of them are globally understandable.

I went to the place on time, but front seats were sat, so my sat in the back. The location was not appropriate to watch the screen. Since many films use local Language, I could not read their subtitles. Nevertheless the atmosphere was good and I enjoy the screening. The event also provided one glass of wine for each attendance. :)

For Thai film, Apichatpong Weerasethakul presented "Mobile Men." Many of the films can be watched via YouTube.
