By Charlotte Stace

Impacte! The Human Rights Film Festival returns to Barcelona for its 5th edition. The festival this year will be held across multiple Catalan locations including Barcelona, Girona, Figueres and Reus. In Barcelona it will be hosted by Cines Girona.
The festival aims to make a lasting impact on people through the films in its selection. It wants to motivate social awareness and stimulate actions that strengthen democratic coexistence, social change and global justice by presenting quality films that encourage reflection and debate.
As such, this year’s films include: De la guerra fría a la guerra verde, Ayahuasca Now, Les veus que elles tenien, Shikun, El evangelio de la revolución, Pirineus, el mur invisible, and El meu planeta robat. Each of the chosen films tackles themes of migration, environmental issues, social movements and conflict.
The program can be found via the festival’s website. The program is accompanied by a number of activities, including talks and exhibitions.
