This book breaks new ground by bringing scholars from a range of disciplines together with industry professionals to explore the concept of festivals as spaces through an activist lens, as spaces where the sociopolitical identities of communities and individuals are confronted and shaped. Tracing the growth of activist and human rights-focused films from the 1970s to the present, and using case studies from San Francisco, Brazil, Bristol, and elsewhere, the book addresses such contentious topics as whether activist films can achieve humanitarian aims or simply offer "cinema of suffering." Ultimately, the contributors attack the question of just how effective festivals are at producing politically engaged spectators? 606 $aPolitics in motion pictures 606 $aPolitical participation 615 0$aPolitics in motion pictures. 615 0$aPolitical participation. 676 $a791.43658 700 $aTasco?n$b Sonia$01609861 702 $aWils$b Tyson 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910816965203321 996 $aActivist film festivals$93937318 997 $aUNINA
