UNHCR and ICRC proudly present

their inaugural Film Showcase: "War and Flight: The Need For Humanitarian Action".

Date: 9 - 11 December 2005

Venue: Asia Europe Institute, University Malaya

The Film Showcase will bring to you films of war, and the horrific impact it has on society, but it will also highlight the humanity behind it - the survivors who move on with courage, strength, love and hope to rebuild their lives, under adverse circumstances and frequently in new and foreign lands.

We will showcase a range of critically acclaimed and award-winning feature films like Hotel Rwanda, The Killing Fields and Molly and Mobarak, coupled with feature-length docu-dramas and various short films on war and flight, highlighting various facets of this issue such as the impact of war on women, children talking about living as refugees, the humanitarian work in action and ultimately, inspiring tales of humankind's sheer will to survive.

Noteworthy are the two afternoon screenings on 10 and 11 Dec, where ICRC and UNHCR will moderate discussions on the issues raised in the films. This Film Showcase is held in conjunction with Human Rights Day 2005, and with the support of the Asia Europe Institute, University of Malaya.
