Erato Human Rights Film Festival

Erato Human Rights Film Festival launched in Tripoli, Libya, in December 2017, the first event of its kind in the country dedicated to human rights cinema. The first edition ran five days, with more than 75 films competing for three awards and a judges award; the opening film was the Syrian docudrama Jasmine by Al-Mohannad Kalthom.

The festival is supported by ANHAR, the Arab Network for Human Rights Films and Festivals. A third edition, themed "I am the story" and focused on films by Libyan youth, was postponed from December 2019 to March 2020 due to fighting and funding difficulties in Tripoli.
