INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL: A NEW PLATFORM TO ADVOCATE FOR CHILD RIGHTS

YEREVAN – Accused by his family for all their problems and locked up in a small room because of his disability, Babak dreams of going to school like his younger brother. His dream finally comes true, as his younger brother’s classmate starts to teach him letters and numbers and one day takes him to the school. This is the synopsis for a feature film “Time to Love”  by Iranian film director Ebrahim Forouzesh that won the first prize of the children’s jury in the category “I have rights”  introduced by UNICEF as part of the 6th  International Festival of Films for Children and Youth.

It’s been two years that organizer of the Festival, the Armenian Branch of the Moscow-based Rolan Bykov Foundation for the Promotion of Films for Children and Youth, is acknowledging best films that highlight child rights. If last year the theme of child rights was only represented as an individual award given by UNICEF, this year UNICEF and the Rolan Bykov Foundation have decided to make it into a separate category and encouraged film-makers to submit films on the theme of child rights.
