At the forefront of this movement, short films can bridge the gap between advocacy and action, showing that even the shortest stories can spark the most significant changes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Since 2021, the Raoul Wallenberg Institute have been a part of the Minikino Film Week, to jointly highlight short films focusing on human rights issues in the Asia Pacific region. Short films submitted to MFW have the chance to be re-curated and nominated for the RWI Awards. The prizes include a cash award of IDR 10,000,000 for one grand winner. The inclusion of this award in Minikino Film Week 10 provides a platform for discussions on various human rights issues across the Asia Pacific region.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On September 19, 2024, a discussion on human rights issues in film was held at the Puri Ayu Hotel in Denpasar, organized through a collaboration between the Raoul Wallenberg Institute of Human Rights and Humanitarian Law (RWI) and Minikino Film Week. The event, titled &#8220;Film for Change,&#8221; featured screenings of <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bolour<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (2024) and <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Swallowing Sea<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (2023), which was nominated for the Human Rights Film Award at the 2024 Minikino Film Week. The screenings were followed by a discussion with key figures in the human rights and filmmaking space.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The panel discussion, led by RWI Country Director for Indonesia, Windi Arini, featured an impressive lineup of filmmakers and human rights advocates. Iranian-American filmmaker Helia Behrooz, director of <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bolour<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, addressed the issue of Taliban oppression in her work, highlighting women\u2019s and LGBTQ rights as critical human rights concerns. Afif Fahmi, a filmmaker from Semarang, Indonesia, delved into the reality of living alongside natural disasters in <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Swallowing Sea<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. The session was moderated by filmmaker Kiki Febriyanti, who emphasized the importance of collaboration in driving change through film.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>The Power of Short Film for Human Rights<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Raoul Wallenberg Institute (RWI) has been using film as a medium to spark conversations around critical human rights issues, including climate change, development, and gender equality. RWI\u2019s acting Country Director for Indonesia, Windi Arini, explained, \u201cWe believe in the power of storytelling to connect the dots between academia, policymakers, and filmmakers, creating a collaborative force for social change.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The event opened with the screening of <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bolour<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Swallowing Sea<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Helia Behrooz\u2019s <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bolour<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> delves into the struggles of women under the Taliban regime, shedding light on the harsh realities faced by women and the LGBTQ+ community. \u201cThe film is a call to action, highlighting how human rights issues transcend borders,\u201d Behrooz stated. Her film underscores the importance of creating visibility for marginalized voices in societies facing oppression.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Afif Fahmi\u2019s <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Swallowing Sea<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> tells the story of coastal communities in Indonesia who are constantly on the brink of disaster due to rising sea levels. \u201cIn Timbulsloko, disaster is not a hypothetical; it&#8217;s a reality we live with,\u201d Fahmi explained. His film highlights the urgency of addressing climate change and its direct impact on vulnerable populations.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The discussion also explored how films like <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bolour<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Swallowing Sea <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">can create an impact on international platforms. Windi gave examples of films that entered the RWI competition previously being brought as advocacy tools in international forums such as the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and other global human rights events, pushing the boundaries of awareness and advocacy. \u201cFilm is a universal language that can transcend cultural and national barriers,\u201d noted Windi Arini during the panel.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_8988\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-8988\" style=\"width: 1122px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-8988\" src=\"https:\/\/minikino.org\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2024\/10\/240919_RWI-FILM-FOR-CHANGES_PAH_FLX-45-web.jpg\" alt=\"(from left to right) Helia Behrooz, Afif Fahmi, and Kiki Febriyanti at the Minikino Film Week 10 Forum: Film for Change at the Puri Ayu Hotel in Denpasar (19\/09\/2024) (dok: Felix\/Minikino)\" width=\"1122\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https:\/\/minikino.org\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2024\/10\/240919_RWI-FILM-FOR-CHANGES_PAH_FLX-45-web.jpg 1122w, https:\/\/minikino.org\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2024\/10\/240919_RWI-FILM-FOR-CHANGES_PAH_FLX-45-web-300x143.jpg 300w, https:\/\/minikino.org\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2024\/10\/240919_RWI-FILM-FOR-CHANGES_PAH_FLX-45-web-1024x486.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/minikino.org\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2024\/10\/240919_RWI-FILM-FOR-CHANGES_PAH_FLX-45-web-768x365.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1122px) 100vw, 1122px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-8988\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">(from left to right) Helia Behrooz, Afif Fahmi, and Kiki Febriyanti at the Minikino Film Week 10 Forum: Film for Change at the Puri Ayu Hotel in Denpasar (19\/09\/2024) (dok: Felix\/Minikino)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><b>Knocking on Doors Until They Open<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Both directors expressed their belief in persistence. Despite <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Swallowing Sea <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">being funded by the Indonesian government, Afif Fahmi remains critical of environmental issues. \u201cKeep knocking on doors until they break,\u201d Fahmi urged, emphasizing the importance for filmmakers to continue pushing for change, no matter how difficult the journey. The sentiment resonated with the audience, many of whom were filmmakers themselves.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Moderator Kiki Febriyanti pointed out that collaboration is essential for these films to reach their full potential. \u201cFilmmaking, academia, and policy must work together. It\u2019s not just about making a film, but about creating a movement,\u201d she said, encouraging further cooperation between different sectors.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">RWI&#8217;s involvement in the film space is longstanding. For years, the organization has supported filmmakers who tackle challenging social issues. The <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Film for Change<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> event at Minikino Film Week is just one of the many initiatives through which RWI continues to bridge the gap between human rights advocacy and cinematic storytelling. \u201cWe aim to keep these conversations going, using film as a medium to inspire policy changes and social movements,\u201d Arini concluded.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the central themes of the discussion was the intersectionality of human rights. Both <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bolour<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Swallowing Sea<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> address issues of gender equality, with <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bolour<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> focusing on women under the Taliban regime and <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Swallowing Sea<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> touching on how disaster affects gender roles within coastal communities. \u201cWomen\u2019s rights are human rights, and we must continue to fight for them,\u201d Behrooz passionately declared.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The short films presented at the event reflected local issues but resonated globally, emphasizing the universality of human rights. &#8220;These stories show us that what happens in one part of the world affects us all,&#8221; Windi Arini stated, underscoring RWI&#8217;s mission to use film as a tool for both local and international advocacy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The discussion concluded on an optimistic note.
