FIGRA and Amnesty International France have joined forces to award the « Impact Prize ».
Images and testimonies are often vectors of change. This prize is awarded in recognition of the role it plays. The prize focuses on audiovisual works – social documentaries – that reveal situations of human rights violations, echoing those denounced by Amnesty International.
More specifically, the prize is designed to reward a film, which, subsequent to its diffusion, has brought tangible, positive and concrete changes to these situations and/or to the lives of the people shown.
Finally, it is a prize that highlights the commitment of writers and directors for their chosen subjects.
Accuracy : the impact of the film is measured from actual result from all nation and international organizations (state, city, UN, WTO, etc.) or any form of actions performed thanks to the film that resulted in notable changes in the situation described by the film. The reality of the impact must be proved and recognized officially.
