While reached its peak, this weekend participants took in two titles chosen for how directly they speak to the environmental thread running through the whole programme.

🎞️Yak Mai (The Burning Giants) threw participants into a Karen community's fight for survival, as their land in Thailand is cleared to make way for a national park — director Phuttiphong Aroonpheng blurring myth and memory to tell it.

🎞️Holy Wood Dust, by Victor Kossakovsky with botanist Stefano Mancuso, takes a radically different angle on the same urgency: an intimate look at the life of trees, and what's lost the moment one is cut down.

Today, participants got to meet both directors at the GC Headquarters for two very different, equally thought-provoking Q&As — the room filled with energy and inspiration, at times feeling more like a dialogue than a conversation. A heartfelt thank you to both for being so generous with our participants!

The Amazon is more than an ecosystem. For the communities who call it home, it is territory, livelihood, culture — and future.

Along the Caquetá River in Puerto Guzmán, Putumayo, extractive activities are contaminating water sources and damaging ecosystems, with consequences for children’s rights to health, education, clean water and a healthy environment.

But this is also a story of action. Juventudes Guzmanenses is bringing young people together to defend the Andean-Amazonian territory through environmental, spiritual and political action — building alternatives rooted in community wellbeing, sovereignty and environmental justice.

Through photographs and testimonies, this Global Campus Alumni (GCA) project documents both the impact of extractivism and the ways young people and their communities are responding — bringing their own perspectives to questions that directly affect their lives, their territory and their future.

🌳 On , we celebrate these young environmental defenders and stand with the Indigenous and local communities protecting the Amazon for present and future generations. Thanks alumna Alejandra Valle for this amazing undertaking!

What if a place thousands of miles away didn't feel far away at all? 🌊

Today at the participants sat down for a very exceptional roundtable on “Solwata”, an immersive documentary which premiered at La Biennale di Venezia .

The film, created by NowHere Media and co-produced by Human Rights Watch and Agog, follows communities in the Solomon Islands confronting rising seas, coastal erosion and the very real prospect of leaving the land they call home. The water here in Venice is the same water that connects us across the oceans: a reminder that what's happening there isn't really far away at all.

🙏 A heartfelt thank you to creators Felix Gaedtke and Gayatri Parameswaran (NowHere Media), Erica Bower and Sam Dubberley (Human Rights Watch), and Alex Capriotti (Agog) for joining our participants for such a rich Q&A, unpacking both the challenges and the unique possibilities of a technology that, while still not accessible to everyone, is developing fast and proving to be a powerful tool for reaching policymakers and decision-makers directly.

During the rest of Day 5, Christopher Hird, founder and director of Dartmouth Films, led a two-part session on funding, producing and distributing documentaries for impact — vital tools for a field as creatively rich as it is competitive.

🎉 One more reason to celebrate today: Askold Kurov, who joined us on Day 2, has been awarded the Kineo & Prize for his work documenting human rights, social conflicts and the struggle for freedom of expression. Our Administrative Director Elisabetta Noli attended this afternoon's press conference announcing the award, which will be presented tomorrow at the Premio Kinéo "Diamanti al Cinema" ceremony. Congratulations, Askold!

💡"Rapid digitalisation has transformed public service reaction to emergencies. Yet the southern African response to COVID-19 exposed how technology excludes many already marginalised groups and individuals. Human rights preparedness requires a more inclusive foundation in preparation for the next crisis."

Day 4 at brought the focus to advocacy on the ground. 🔍

Dalila Mujagic — with over 10 years supporting grassroots organisations and activists in documenting human rights abuses using digital and visual-based evidence — led the day's sessions.

In the morning, participants worked on identifying a campaign's advocacy goals and the justice pathway a community is pursuing, learning how to translate that into a workable plan grounded in a clear theory of change.

📹The afternoon turned practical, with hands-on tips and techniques for filming evidence: the kind of footage that needs to hold up, whether it's shaping a story or supporting a case.

🎬 is here and the future of cinema is already part of the conversation.
The 83rd Venice International Film Festival opens at the Lido of Venice, bringing international cinema together from 2–12 September 2026.

This year, Festival Director Alberto Barbera places Artificial Intelligence and the profound transformation of cinema at the centre of his reflection, while raising a bigger question: can cinema continue to be our window onto reality, history and the human condition?
For the this question could not be more relevant.

Our Press Office attended the opening of Venezia 83, where this year’s programme and the future of cinema were presented against a backdrop of profound technological and cultural transformation.

🎥 Cinema can help us see the world differently. The question is what we choose to do with what we see.
