Welcome to the 6th edition of the Human Rights Human Wrongs Documentary Film Festival in Oslo, Norway!
3
We’ve been working hard to find the best current documentary films about human rights issues and to put together inspiring debates and cultural events. We hope you’ll find the festival’s offerings engaging and memorable. It’s easy to feel powerless when faced with the great injustices in the world. Understanding enough to have an opinion is the first step out of this frustration. We strongly believe that independent documentary film is an absolutely necessary source of information. Join us; we’ll go beyond the news headlines, see different perspectives and form new understandings. THIS is what you’ll be talking about tomorrow. We have 18 great films and more than 50 international and Norwegian guests: filmmakers, activists and experts. All of the films will be screened at the newly renovated Victoria Kino, with accompanying debates and introductions. At Parkteatret you can meet the festival guests, partake in debates, and see performances and concerts that link to the films’ themes. Side events will take place at a number of other venues in Oslo. We hope you enjoy the festival and come away from it with new perspectives on the state of affairs in the world today. See you there!

OPENING NIGHT
TUES, FEB 4TH - 20:00 VICTORIA KINO DANGEROUS ACTS STARRING THE UNSTABLE ELEMENTS OF BELARUS
Join us for the opening film at Victoria Kino! Andrei Sannikov and Natalya Radina are the evening’s guests of honor. In addition to the screening, there will be music, speeches, and a celebration with our organizing partners. The film Dangerous Acts about Belarus Free Theatre is essentially about how an underground theater is able to fight back on the grave human rights challenges in Belarus: the mass arrests, the lack of freedom of expression, the humiliation and stifling of cultural expressions and the brutality of the regime. The New York Times has described Belarus Free Theatre as one of the most powerful underground theaters on the planet. The acclaimed British playwright Tom Stoppard emphasizes their high artistic standard – Belarus Free Theatre presents its message by being as artistically interesting as possible. The theater has also been dubbed the world’s bravest theater. Belarusian freedom fighters must be brave because they run a great risk by demanding democracy in Europe’s last dictatorship. Two of the most prominent figures of the fight for freedom in Belarus, the opposition leader Andrei Sannikov and the award-winning editor and journalist Natalya Radina have experienced this firsthand. During a demonstration in Minsk on December 19th, 2010, both were brutally arrested and imprisoned. While Radina was released after a short time, but forced into internal exile, Sannikov was severely beaten and sentenced to five years in prison. His wife Irina Khalip was put under house arrest, and the government threatened to take away their little son, Danik. After huge international pressure, Andrei Sannikov was released in April 2012. He and Radina have chosen, as they say, to temporarily leave Belarus in order to continue the fight for democracy, dignity, and survival. Their story is Belarus Free Theatre’s lived drama. Meet them during the opening night event.

Nightwind is a 30-minute performance based on Hector Aristizábal’s story of arrest and torture by the US-supported military in Colombia. After his release, he witnessed the killings of many friends and was forced into exile in the United States. When his brother was abducted and killed by the paramilitary groups in Colombia, his own rage and desire for violent revenge was awakened: what he calls “the terrorist within.” Inspired by his young children, he finds ways to transform these destructive energies into constructive action using theater as healing.

STATEBUILDING: HOW TO MAKE A NEW COUNTRY
Cedric de Coning, Head of the research group for Peace Operations and Peacebuilding at NUPI
Make sure you catch THE DEBATE ON STATEBUILDING IN SOUTH-SUDAN AT PARKTEATRET WED, FEB 5TH, P. 5 A SCREENING OF STATE BUILDERS, THUR, FEB 6TH AT 17:15 OR SAT, FEB 8TH AT 14:30, P. 29

Statebuilding refers to activities undertaken to help a society recovering from conflict to create new government institutions and strengthen existing ones. Since the late 1990s, the international community has embraced statebuilding as part of its peacebuilding efforts, and statebuilding tasks are now regularly part of UN peace operations. In some cases, like Kosovo, South Sudan or Timor Leste a conflict may have resulted in the need to help establish a new state. In others, statebuilding may help a country with fragile state institutions, like Yemen or Guinea Bissau, from lapsing into violent conflict, but in most cases, like Burundi, Liberia and Nepal, statebuilding is about re-establishing state institution after a conflict. Statebuilding involves engaging with state institutions such as parliament, the judiciary, a central bank, an independent electoral commission, and the executive branch of government. As insecurity and stability typically are major concerns in a society recovering from conflict, reforming the security sector is usually a priority, including the armed forces, the police and the intelligence services. Statebuilding is, however, not just about these formal state institutions. It is also about state-society relations and support for the civil society. Conflicts often result in people being mobilized around ethnic or religious identities, and statebuilding usually requires reconciliation among groups that may have been in conflict with each other. Statebuilding efforts to date has had mixed results. Some countries like Cambodia, Namibia and Nicaragua seem to have recovered from conflict, but many others have relapsed. Critics argue that statebuilding is premised on an idea of statehood that is rooted in the Western state formation experience. They argue that for statebuilding to be self-sustainable it must be locally owned and led, so that it can generate institutions that address the specific needs of the country concerned. The overall aim of statebuilding is to help establish a self-sustainable functioning state, but as this is a project that often requires generations to achieve, the interim aim is to reduce the risk of lapsing into violent conflict. The focus is thus on those aspects of societal dynamics that, left unaddressed, are most likely to result in a lapse into violent conflict. These typically involve youth unemployment, social grievances such as land occupation, judicial issues such as the lack of prosecution of past crimes and atrocities, and unfulfilled past agreements, such as reintegrating former combatants.

MIDNIGHT IN MEXICO - THE DRUG WARS
Production and trafficking of marijuana and heroin is an old phenomenon in Mexico, but in recent years, drug-related violence has increased excessively. Since 2006, over 100,000 have been killed and 25,000 have disappeared, most of it as a result of organized crime. Among the reasons is that the drug cartels obtained an important new source of income in the 1990s, when they gained control of the cocaine routes from South America to the United States. Another contributing factor is that the authorities started a major military offensive against the cartels in 2006, with support from the United States. It helped break up the old criminal power constellations and alliances between criminals and government, and resulted in the battles for territory and drug routes being carried out with increasingly more powerful weapons. Most of the weapons used in this war are smuggled from the United States to Mexico – the opposite route of the drugs – due to the liberal US gun legislation. From having been traditional mafia organizations, many of the cartels developed into transnational «franchise» businesses that include loosely coupled and extremely violent groups. At the same time, the violence has spread from the border areas to states all over Mexico. The income sources include not only drug trafficking, but also human trafficking, blackmail and kidnapping. The cartels also invest in restaurants, casinos, hotels and other legal activities, so that an increasing number of people become involved in the criminal economy. In connection with this, a culture has emerged where violence is glorified and drug lords (capos) are worshipped as heroes, including in the so-called narcocorridos («drug ballads»), which some times also can be critical to government corruption and neglect.

FESTIVALUTSTILLING/FESTIVAL EXHIBITION –kunstplass 5 Velkommen til festivalutstilling på -kunstplass 5! Festivalutstillingen er et samarbeid mellom -kunstplass 5 og dokumentarfilmfestivalen Human Rights Human Wrongs 2014. Kunstnerne som stiller ut har alle personlige erfaringer fra krig, konflikt, flukt og brudd på menneskerettighetene. Arbeidene som vises gir et bilde på enkeltmenneskers maktesløshet i en krigssituasjon, men har samtidig universell relevans. Gjennom kunstneriske og estetiske virkemidler formidler de sterke historier både inne på -kunstplass 5 og ute på Olaf Ryes Plass. Gjennom kunst håper vi at du som publikum får en annerledes og kroppslig opplevelse av universelle human rights og human wrongs. Vi håper at du blir berørt, stopper opp og at kunsten skaper en reaksjon.
MARI MEEN HALSØY - INSTALLASJONER, FOTO OG VIDEO
”Wounds” er et stedsspesifikt og relasjonelt kunstprosjekt fra Beirut som består av installasjon, foto og video. Jeg har siden 2010 reparert krigens sår i Beiruts bybilde ved bruk av billedvev. Libanons hovedstad er sterkt preget av langvarig krig og politiske uroligheter. Bombede bygninger med utallige kulehull har i flere tiår stått igjen som monumenter over krigens herjinger. I ”Wounds” går jeg direkte inn i den fysiske og psykiske smerten, og plastrer bygningene som om de var menneskekropper. Vevnadene er tilpasset bygningenes sår og glir nesten usynlig inn i bybildet.

BOOK TALK - MIDNIGHT IN MEXICO: A REPORTER’S JOURNEY
Alfredo Corchado combines a thorough knowledge of Mexico’s politics and history with his own experiences. They reach from his childhood in rural Mexico, to being an immigrant and son of a Mexican agricultural worker (bracero) in the United States, and to life among international reporters in Mexico City. In a unique way he describes the atrocities of the drug war both from an analytical, journalistic standpoint and based on his own and his family’s experiences of attempts to be incorporated into the drug-economy and received death threats from the cartels. Alfredo Corchado will introduce both screenings of Narco Cultura, Fri, Feb 7th at 20:30 and Sat, Feb 8th at 17:00.

In the USA, private investment in social change documentaries is far more common than in Norway, where such projects have largely been based on public financing. With a new political climate in Norway, it looks as if this situation is about to change. Are there different rules to the game when private money is involved? What should the relationship between filmmaker and investor be? How can documentary filmmakers keep their integrity? What can we learn from American experiences? Dan Cogan, founder Impact Partners, has been involved in financing The Cove, Detropia, Big Men, The Garden, The Ghosts of Abu Ghraib, No Impact Man, and The World Before Her. Rachel Boynton is the Director of Big Men and Our Brand is Crisis. She has a unique ability to gain access and to delve deep into complex subjects, as well as find funding for her films. Petr Lom is the Director of Ana Ana, and has made films in Kyrgyzstan, China, and Iran. He is currently working in Burma. Sarah Prosser is the Director of the British Council in Oslo. She was one of the founders of Human Rights Human Wrongs.
Knut Olav Åmås is the Deputy Minister of Culture in Norway. Ingrid Stange is the Founder of Partnership for Change in Oslo. She works with social impact and corporate responsibility. Bente Roalsvig is the Deputy Director of Fritt Ord, a private fund with the objective to protect and promote freedom of expression. Truls Berg is on the Advisory Board of VentureLab, an innovative group of entrepreneurs and developers. Tore Ole Rognaldsen is the CFO of Filmfondet Fuzz, a fund managed by the Bergen City Council, but that draws on private financial resources.

The prohibition against torture is absolute and the obligation to prevent torture, to investigate, punish the responsible and provide redress for persons subjected to torture is stated in the UN convention against torture, ratified by 154 states. There is no justification for torture. War, threat of terror or conflict cannot be invoked as reasons for torture. However, in the socalled war against terror, there is ample evidence that torture has been applied in interrogation of terror-suspects. Secret renditions and detention without basic legal safeguards have been part of this. The role played by CIA in these violations has been highlighted, but torture is practiced also by other states under the umbrella of fighting terrorism, or as part of ongoing conflict. Torture must be combated wherever it occurs. The fact that health personnel is involved in these destructive and prohibited acts, calls for strong action. Despite the absolute prohibition, torture is practiced and survivors of torture are found everywhere. 15 – 20 % of refugees arriving in Norway may have been exposed to torture, and torture may be done in ways that leave no visible scars. It is important to identify vulnerable asylum seekers, including torture victims, to provide them with care as well as protection. Torture is systematic destruction. It is severe pain inflicted where the person is unable to defend him/herself, under total control of another, and the powerlessness of the feeling that life collapses. The mind is confused and the body destroyed through pain and extreme conditions. Fear, helplessness and shame are induced together with extreme humiliation, in particular sexual and cultural humiliation. Torture is severe attack on dignity and the person may later feel unable to relate to others, with feelings of unworthiness, shame, deep mistrust and anxiety. Nightmares, intrusive memories, flashbacks, avoidance, fear and constant alertness are part of this. The strengthening of the international focus on the right to reparation and rehabilitation for victims of torture represents an important challenge to health professionals, particularly to those in the field of trauma research and treatment. The fulfillment of this right is a complex endeavor which raises many questions.
14 | HUMAN RIGHTS HUMAN WRONGS 2014
IN FOCUS
The road to justice and reparation for those whose rights have been brutally violated is often long and the active presence of trauma-informed health professionals in this process is needed. States must be aware of their obligations to provide and ensure redress and rehabilitation to victims of torture and enable them to obtain this and hope for a future.
OL I SOTSJI: TAUSHET ER IKKE GULL Baksiden av av årets OL-medaljer er grumset til av menneskerettighetsbrudd. På få år har situasjonen i Russland gått fra vondt til verre. Putins tredje presidentperiode er kjennetegnet av en stadig økende heksejakt på ytrings- og organisasjonsfriheten. Journalister, advokater og menneskerettighetsaktivister blir utsatt for systematisk trakassering og forfølgelse. Vedtak av nye lover og endringer i eksisterende lovverk har ført til sterke begrensninger på muligheten til å motta og dele informasjon. Antipropagandaloven fyrer oppunder et allerede homofobisk klima, hvor lesbiske, homofile, bifile og transpersoner i økende grad blir utsatt for hatkriminalitet. Det blir stadig vanskeligere å rette et kritisk søkelys på myndighetenes overgrep og maktmisbruk.

Dette er grunnen til at Amnesty er svært bekymret for menneskerettighetssituasjonen i Russland. Dette er bakteppet for De XXII olympiske vinterleker. Nå er hele verdens blikk rettet mot Russland. Da må vi bruke sjansen til å fortelle om baksiden av medaljen. Argumentet om at de olympiske leker ikke har noe med politikk å gjøre holder ikke mål. OL i Sotsji er i høyeste grad en del av Putins propagandaprosjekt. Taushet er ikke gull. Amnesty oppfordrer alle til å bruke sin stemme til å forsvare rettighetene til dem som blir forsøkt truet til å tie. HUMAN RIGHTS HUMAN WRONGS 2014

Four men have survived torture, managed to flee their countries, and have come to Finland to seek asylum. But life isn’t easy when they’re faced with an illogical asylum system while struggling with the horror they have been through. This film questions whether immigration systems in European countries have forgotten about humanity. Fire menn har overlevd tortur og har flyktet fra sine respektive hjemland. De har kommet til Finland for å søke asyl men livet er ikke så enkelt når alt de kjenner fra før er borte og de må streve både med sine egne traumer og med et system som er vanskelig å manøvrere og å forstå. Denne filmen viser både menneskene bak asylsøknadene og stiller spørsmål om hvorvidt Europas flyktningepolitikk har kastet menneskeligheten på båten.

Ana Ana is a cinematic poem about four young Egyptian women, set in an Egypt where dreams of the revolution have begun to unravel, and women’s rights are tremendously vulnerable. Most of the material is filmed by the characters themselves, who worked with the film’s directors over the course of two years. They find ways to express their dreams and desires in an extraordinarily open and intimate way, using metaphors and cinematic storytelling to transform their everyday struggles into the sublime. Their voices tell a story about universal desire for creativity and freedom. Ana Ana er en poetisk film om fire unge egyptiske kvinner som forteller om sine liv og håp etter at revolusjonens første begeistring har gått over til bekymring for framtiden.

The occupation of Palestine is not just an occupation of land; it’s an occupation of culture and identity. Juliano Mer-Khamis was assassinated in 2011. This film is a tribute to him, and shows us the power theater and art can have in giving oppressed people agency, power, and meaning. Denne filmen viser hvilken betydning teater og kunst har for å styrke identitet og overlevelse hos et undertrykket folk. Juliano Mer-Khamis, grunnleggeren av Jenin Freedom Theatre, ble drept i 2011. Filmen er en hyllest til ham, laget av to av hans studenter sammen med en tidligere kollega og venn. RELATED EVENTS: BATOUL TALEB AND MARIAM ABU KHALED AT PARKTEATRET: P. 4

Short film: Modern Enlightenment (14 min) by Joe Baur before main feature. An event with premiere screening of the film “Banned Expressions in Tibet” (40 mins). The event also contains a presentation by Dechen Pemba and stage performance by Loten Namling. Tibet is closed to the outside world. Basic human rights, like freedom of speech and expression, are brutally supressed. Still Tibetans defy China’s repressive policies and fight for their country, culture and identity. Tibetan writers and artists fearlessly continue to challenge China’s policies. They are being censored, arrested, tortured and imprisoned. “Banned Expressions” er en film om mangelen på kulturell ytringsfrihet i Tibet. Forfilm: Modern Enlightenment. Presentasjon av Dechen Pemba og musikalsk framføring av Loten Namling. RELATED EVENTS: CONCERT AT LITTERATURHUSET P. 12, DECHEN PEMBA AT PARKTEATRET, P. 5, LOTEN NAMLING AT PARKTEATRET: P. 6

Can Ghana escape the resource curse? With unprecedented behind-the-scenes access, this film follows as the first commercial oil field is developed in Ghana. Whose interests are being taken into consideration? Will foreign investors run off with all of the profit, or can oil development help the country as a whole? As point of comparison, we look at the Nigerian situation, where it’s become evident that the riches oil extraction has brought with it aren’t doing the people any good. En imponerende film som følger et amerikanske oljeselskaps vei inn i Ghana i håp om et oljeeventyr. Vi er med helt på innsiden i denne prosessen. Det overskyggende spørsmålet er: kan Ghana overvinne ressursforbannelsen eller vil de ende opp som nabolandet Nigeria?

How do you reshape your worldview when all you’ve ever known is a North Korean death camp? Shin Dong-Huyk escaped from the labor camp he was born into when he was 23, crossing the border to South Korea. Now he’s trying to make sense of the capitialist world, and come to terms with the torture and psychological indoctrination he’s been subject to his whole life. Interspersed with poignant animations and interviews with former labor camp wardens, this film gives us unique insight into the atrocities of one of the most closed countries in the world. Shin Dong-Hyuk ble født inn i en av de beryktede arbeidsleirene i Nord-Korea. Som 23-åring klarte han å rømme til Sør-Korea og må forstå hele verden på nytt. Filmen gir unik innsikt i de umenneskelige forholdene i de nord-koreanske dødsleirene og hvilke utfordringer som nordkoreanaske flyktninger møter i verden utenfor.

A 19-year old girl in Chicago is deeply involved in the protest movement in Syria, keeping constant contact with her Syrian friends through Facebook, Twitter, and Skype. She helps organize demonstrations, and sends camera equipment so her friends can document what’s going on and share it with the world. Slowly, the optimism of what was hailed as a social media revolution gives way to a violent reality no one was ready for. En 19-årig jente i Chicago hjelper til med å organisere demonstrasjoner i Syria. Optimismen er stor i begynnelsen og man tror at sosiale medier kan overvinne diktaturet, men en brutalitet som ingen var forberedt på tar raskt over.

How do you stand up to the last remaining dictatorship in Europe? The members of the Belarus Free Theatre do it by creating critical theatre productions, despite the extreme risks involved with speaking out against Lukashenko’s regime. This film takes us on a trip displaying the power of art as a political weapon, and the hardship that comes with it. Hvordan bruke teater i kampen mot Europas siste diktatur? Belarus Free Theater gjør nettopp dette, med den risiko som følger for fengsling og tortur. Filmen gir også et innblikk i den politiske situasjonen i Hviterussland.

This film brings up how US Army and CIA medical personell are intricately involved in the implementation of torture on detainees held in Guantanamo and Abu Ghraib prisons. Instead of stopping it altogether, they give recommendations on how far torture can go. Yet all of these doctors have sworn the Hippocratic oath. What are doctors’ responsibilities, and how is it possible that the medical profession is used in this way? The film is followed by a panel debate about health personell and their involvement in torture. Hector Aristizabal will perform “Nightwind,” a play related to the themes of the film at Parkteatret later this evening. Denne filmen tar opp helsepersonells rolle i tortur. Leger i den amerikanske hæren og i CIA er dypt involvert i tortur mot fanger i den såkalte krigen mot terror. RELATED EVENTS: NIGHTWIND AT PARKTEATRET: P. 6, AFTER LIFE: P. 21, SEMINARS: P. 31
Actions matter. Stop hoping. Make it happen! We usually feel small when faced with the undemocratic practices that are pushing our societies in a direction that neglects the fact that we’re all humans. But there are people all around the world who aren’t just sitting back and taking it. Indignados in Spain, Occupy Wall Street in New York, FEMEN in Ukraine, The Yes Men, Otpor! in Serbia and non-violent protest movements in Syria and Iran show us what’s worth fighting for and how to get results without bloodshed. Over hele verden finnes det protestbevegelser som med fredelige midler forsøker å gjøre verden til et bedre sted. Hva har de alle til felles og hvordan kan vi bedre vise solidaritet med hverandre?

Uganda has become the promised land for many evangelical Christians. American evangelical organizations are attempting to eliminate “sexual sin” in Uganda, effectively spreading hate and dehumanizing sexual minorities in a country that is on the brink of passing a devastating anti-gay law. Since the film was released the law has been passed in parliament. Uganda har blitt “det lovede land” for mange evangeliske kristne og de samler derfor kreftene for å gjøre landet rent for “seksuell synd”. I virkeligheten er de med på å spre hat og oppfordre til alvorlig diskriminering i et land som er på vei til å lovfeste kriminalisering, og i verste fall livstidsstraff for homofile.

Thulasi was born a dalit, an untouchable, and a girl, meaning her options in life in India are grim. She is tough as a nail, though, and determined to get more out of life than what society has in store for her. She leaves her family, and finds her talent in boxing, putting in tireless hours of training to win a place as one of the top athletes in India. Thulasi has to fight both in and out of the boxing ring, facing sexual harassment, pressure of arranged marriage, and a society that doesn’t value what she has to give. Thulasi er født dalit, «kasteløs», og jente, dermed er hennes muligheter i India få. Fast bestemt på å få mer ut av livet enn hva samfunnet tilbyr henne, forlater hun familien, begynner å bokse og legger ned utallige treningstimer for å bli en av de beste utøverne i India. Thulasi må kjempe både innenfor og utenfor bokseringen, stilt overfor seksuell trakassering, press om arrangert ekteskap og et samfunn som ikke verdsetter det hun har å gi.

The violence connected to Mexican drug cartels is so massive and invasive, and the death rate so high that it’s changing the cultural fibre of society. The hugely popular music form called narcocorridos, like gangster rap in the USA, makes heroes of the mafia leaders and glorifies violence. Den mexicanske krigen mot narkokartellene har gjort deler av Mexico til noen av de farligste stedene å være på kloden. Volden er så massiv og invaderende at den endrer kulturen. Musikkformen narcocorridos har blitt svært populær. På samme måte som den nord-amerikanske gangsterrap’en skaper den helter av mafialederne.

This film offers a critical view on land grabbing: Large agricultural corporations, with the support of international investors and local governments, seize land from originally self-sustained farmers. This film takes us to Mali, Uganda and Cambodia, outlining the consequences of land grabbing for people, ecosystems, and the future of the world. Filmen setter et kritisk blikk på landran, hvor store landsbruksselskaper, med støtte fra internasjonale investorer og lokale myndigheter, tilraner seg landeiendom fra småbønder. Med eksempler fra Mali, Uganda og Kambodsja beskrives konsekvensene av landran for mennesker, økosystemer og verdens fremtid.

En tettpakket reportasjedokumentar som går gjennom prosessen fram mot OL i Sotsji. Påstander om ekstrem korrupsjon, tvangsflytting av mennesker og bakgrunnen for at Vinter-OL har havnet i Russlands eneste subtropiske område.

Did we do the right thing? Filmed between August 2011 and August 2013, this is a remarkable and intimate portrait of a group of young men in the city of Homs in Syria. They dream of removing Bashar al-Assad from power, and fight for justice through peaceful demonstrations. As the army acts ever more brutally, the young men become armed insurgents. Basset, a charismatic football player and popular singer, becomes a militia leader. Scenes of lively demonstrations make way for panicking civilians, grim battles, and rising numbers of fallen loved ones. Et veldig sterkt vitnesbyrd fra innsiden av krigen i Syria. Vi følger Basset, en karismatisk ung fotballspiller og sanger, fra å lede fredelige demonstrasjoner til å bli leder av en lokal væpnet militia.

After 50 years of civil war, South Sudan has finally become its own state, but none of the institutions of a functioning democracy are in place. In a land that’s been torn apart by extreme violence, famine, and displacement, how do you start thinking about things like creating a treasury, a taxation system, or a national archive? How do you stop a new state from failing before it gets started, and is the one-size-fitsall model the UN has for building a state even relevant for South Sudan? Etter 50 år med borgerkrig er Sør-Sudan endelig blitt en egen stat, men ingen av de institusjoner som kjennetegner et velfungerende demokrati er på plass. Hvordan bygge en stat fra bunnen av? Og er FNs «one-size-fitsall»-modell for statsbygging i det hele tatt relevant for Sør-Sudan?

Now we know our governments are in on it too. Can we continue to call our societies functioning democracies when our governments are watching our every move? Vil vi akseptere total overvåking? Etter Snowdens avsløringer har vi lært at ikke bare store selskaper, men også våre egne regjeringer bedriver nærmest total overvåking på nett. Kan vi fremdeles hevde at vi lever i demokratiske samfunn?

THE OTHER - TRANSFORMING DEHUMANIZATION THROUGH THEATRE OF THE OPPRESSED In our four day exploration the workshop will examine what role theatre can play in times of social and political upheaval? Hector Aristizábal, theater maker, psychologist and activist against torture, has founded the ImaginAction network in Los Angeles in order to utilize the transformational forces of theater for community building and in processes of self-empowerment. Against the background of the Theatre of the Oppressed developed by Augusto Boal in the 1960s, Aristizábal will join the workshop participants to develop scenes from concrete life experiences, looking for ways to connect individual modes of acting with the global movements for radical political change as experienced in the film festival. We will explore our own definitions of “The Other” and how we dehumanize ourselves by dehumanizing other people. The interactive approach of the workshop emphasizes aesthetic dialogues, non-verbal imagery, consensus-building and collective problem solving processes, as well as techniques such as “rainbow of desire” and “cops in the head” for developing awareness and confronting both external and internalized forms of oppression.

KVELDSSEMINAR: KAN TORTUR RETTFERDIGGJØRES? -ET ETISK OG JURIDISK PERSPEKTIV Krigen mot terror har ført til en sterk oppsving i bruken av “enhanced interrogation techniques” (EIT), bedre kjent som tortur. I et forsøk på å bekjempe den nye fienden, ble EIT et verktøy for å avdekke terrornettverk og hente ut informasjon som kunne avsløre potensielle nye terrorangrep. Denne diskusjonen vil fokusere på bakgrunnen for hele debatten om bruk av EIT, da spesielt med tanke på juridiske og etiske utfordringer knyttet til bruken av tortur av stater som tar del i det 21. århundrets “war on terror”. Deltakere: Cecilie Hellestveit (ILPI), Lene Bomann-Larsen (Krigsskolen) og Hilde E. Restad (Bjørknes Høyskole) RELATED EVENTS: DOCTORS OF THE DARK SIDE: P. 25, NIGHTWIND: P. 6, AFTER LIFE: FOUR STORIES OF TORTURE: P. 21

I foredraget vil Trine Myhrvold presentere forhold av betydning for flyktningers psykiske helse. Psykiske lidelser hos flyktninger assosieres med belastninger før, under og etter flukten. Mest alvorlig er tortur som innebærer organisert vold utført mot personer med hensikt av, eller på ordre fra, offentlig tjenesteperson. Begrenset psykisk og sosial støtte, alvorlige tap, risiko for diskriminering, utnyttelse og vold truer deres psykiske helse ytterligere. Trine Myhrvold argumenterer for at behovet for helsehjelp skal styre tilgangen til helsetjenester, ikke hvilken status den enkelte har – eller ikke har – i samfunnet.

SEMINAR: GJELDSKRISEN ER IKKE OVER - HVOR GÅR NORGE NÅ? Gjeldskrisen er ikke over. Gjeldsnivået for utviklingsland er dobbelt så høyt nå som i år 2000, og består i dag av 50 prosent private lån og 50 prosent offentlige lån. I 16 land er gjeldsnivået bekymringsfullt høyt, men det er faktisk i mellominntektsland at man kan se for seg gjeldskrise i nær fremtid. Bildet på gjeldskriser er endret, men det systemiske problemet er det samme. Dårlig regulering og troen på at utlånere alltid får tilbake pengene sine bidrar til en uregulert lånefest der de fattige menneskene i utviklingsland blir sittende igjen med regningen. Hva kan Norge gjøre for å sikre ansvarlig långiving internasjonalt og opprettelsen av en uavhengig og rettferdig gjeldshåndteringsmekanisme?
