10 days full of international and Ethiopian documentaries, films, short movies and international guests. The 2nd Addis International Film Festival has turned Ethiopia’s capital again into a glimmering festival town. Films on the topic ‘Organizing the Unorganized’ will engage the audience with women’s, children’s and worker’s rights and its prevailing injustice in Ethiopia, Africa and in the world. Success of the 1st edition of Addis International Film Festival (AIFF) has encouraged us to turn it into a yearly recurring event. The second edition was bigger in size and scope than the first edition. More films were screened in town and in selected cities all through the country. Moreover, many activities accompained the festival.
The goal of the Addis International Film Festival on Rights and Justice was to create an inspiring vision that will help Ethiopia’s civil society to move towards a desirable future and help supporting by ‘Organizing the Unorganized’.
As the only festival of this kind in our region, The Addis International Film festival was held in March, for 10 exciting festival days on Rights and Justice.
