Mission Statement
UNAFF celebrates the power of films dealing with human rights, environmental themes, women’s issues, population, homelessness, racism, children, health, universal education, war and peace. UNAFF attracts a broad audience from the San Francisco Bay Area who finds the screenings to be a rare chance to see the state of human rights and culture around the world and at home. Over the years UNAFF has screened some of the most awarded and talked about documentaries in the industry, including seven that went on to win Academy Awards and thirty that were nominated. UNAFF promotes education, awareness and social change through images, dialogue and action.
Description
UNAFF (United Nations Association Film Festival)
Founded in 1998 by Jasmina Bojic, film critic and educator, UNAFF is an international documentary film festival originally established to honor the 50th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. It has grown and earned the respect of audiences and filmmakers alike for its fearless independence and integrity. As one of the oldest documentary-only film festivals in the United States, UNAFF brings together the interests of human rights advancement and cinematic achievement.
The 27th UNAFF will be held from October 17-27, 2024. This year’s theme SHARED HUMANITY continues our enduring devotion to the principles of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
