How can human rights issues be incorporated into film?
How can films enhance human rights awareness?
How to use films for influencing social change?

In 2010 and 2011 the Summer School in Cinema, Human Rights and Advocacy brought together students and professionals from all over the world involved in the fields of Human Rights Cinema and Advocacy to reflect on the use of film and video advocacy as an instrument for enhancing human rights awareness on critical social, political and environmental issues, and to influence change.

Following the success of past years, the Huston School of Film & Digital Media and the Irish Centre for Human Rights in Galway, Ireland are pleased to organise a third edition from 6 to 13 of July 2012. The Summer School coincided with the 24th Galway Film Fleadh in order to give participants the chance to assist festival screenings which formes a basis for critical discussion.

In order to facilitate international applications to this year's Summer School, the deadline for application is extended to 20th May 2012.
