Festival

Injustice and discrimination require people to raise their voices and protest. Wherever minorities are oppressed or people are mistreated, effective words are needed to draw attention to these abuses and denounce them. The poems on which the films in this programme are based do so with remarkable intensity. It is a selection of the best poetry films that have been shown in previous editions of the ZEBRA Poetry Film Festival.
