The 12th UNAFF will be held from October 17-25, 2009 in Palo Alto, Stanford University, East Palo Alto and San Francisco. The theme for this year is "ENERGY AND THE WORLD."
UNAFF celebrates the power of films and videos dealing with human rights, environmental themes, women's issues, protection of refugees, homelessness, racism, children, disease control, universal education, war and peace. In the past eleven years, UNAFF has screened some exceptional documentaries, many of which went on to win prestigious awards, among them ten films that received Oscar nominations and five that won the Academy Award for Best Documentary. These films often elicit a very personal and emotional response that encourages dialogue and action, by humanizing global and local problems. Last year UNAFF jurors reviewed over four hundred and forty submissions. Our final program consisted of forty-one films related to issues from Afghanistan, Argentina, Bolivia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Brazil, Canada, Chile, China, Congo, Croatia, Ecuador, Egypt, Kenya, France, Germany, India, Iraq, Israel, Italy, Lebanon, Liberia, Mexico, Namibia, Netherlands, North Korea, Norway, Pakistan, Palestine, Peru, Russia, Rwanda, Serbia, Somalia, South Africa, South Korea, Sri Lanka, Sudan, Switzerland, the UK, the US and Vietnam.
