United Nations Association 5th Traveling Film Festival Boston

Global Voices

About the Festival

This September, United Nations Association of Greater Boston (UNAGB) and the Kennedy School Alumni Association of New England will present Global Voices, the 6th annual UNA Film Festival - Traveling Festival Boston, which features the documentary films of talented moviemakers from around the world. Leading off with 2007 Academy Award winner, “The Blood of the Yingzhou District,” the Festival presents films dealing with timely subjects ranging from growing up on the streets of Lima, to the personal stories of the Tsunami generation in Indonesia, to examining our cultural fascination with the female breast—subjects meant to engage dialogue on issues that matter to all of us as humans. This year’s Festival will be held September 27-30, 2007.

For the past six years, the Boston Traveling Festival has been presented at area colleges, including The Kennedy School at Harvard, Boston University and Cambridge College. This year, UNAGB is bringing the Film Festival to an even wider audience, by moving it to The Brattle Theatre. The Festival provides a forum at which the Greater Boston community can consider global issues through the creative eyes of filmmakers.

Sponsorship opportunities are available. This is a great opportunity to associate your company with an artistic and entertainment-focused event that focuses on global understanding, and offers a unique opportunity to reach Boston’s educated, diverse community.

United Nations Association Film Festival (UNAFF)

Conceived in 1998 at Stanford University by film critic and educator Jasmina Bojic in conjunction with the fiftieth anniversary of the signing of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the United Nations Association Film Festival (UNAFF) screens documentaries by international filmmakers dealing with topics such as human rights, environmental survival, women’s issues, children, refugee protection, homelessness, racism, disease control, universal education, war and peace. By bringing together filmmakers, the academic community and the general public, UNAFF offers a unique opportunity for creative exchange and education among groups and individuals often separated by geography, ethnicity and economic constraints.
