All protocol observed, Ladies and gentlemen of the press, thank you for joining us today for the first of two press conferences for the Rock International Film Festival (RIFF) 2023. Supported by Movies that Matter- a Netherlands based Human Rights organization which supports Human Rights Film Festivals all over the World

RIFF is a prestigious human rights film festival that celebrates the power of storytelling to bring about change. From November 1st to 4th, at the Jos National Museum Auditorium, we invite you to join us for four days of thought-provoking cinema and discussions.

This year, RIFF is excited to unveil a carefully curated lineup of films that delve deep into the heart of human rights issues. From stories of resilience in the face of adversity to powerful calls for justice, these films will ignite conversations and inspire action.

We are also honored to announce the presence of some remarkable special guests at this year’s festival. Renowned filmmakers, activists, and other inspiring individuals will be gracing RIFF with their insights and experiences.

The Rock Awards ceremony is another highlight of RIFF, where we recognize outstanding contributions to human rights storytelling through film. This year, we are excited to announce that the award will be presented to a group of filmmakers who have used their craft to amplify the voices of marginalized communities and give a platform to important human rights issues.

In addition to our official program, RIFF is also proud to partner with a variety of organizations and initiatives that are dedicated to promoting human rights and social justice. These partnerships will allow us to reach a wider audience and have a greater impact.

We are excited to share more details about RIFF 2023 in the coming weeks. Stay tuned for updates on our website and social media channels.

In the meantime, we invite you to join us for this incredible journey. Let’s make RIFF 2023 a celebration of storytelling, human rights, and positive change.
