banner

The partnership between BOZAR and Ciné-ONU started in 2009 with the screening of “The Choir” to mark Human Rights Day. Since then, the partnership has continued with a series of joint communication and information projects to mark three international days in the UN calendar every year - International Women’s Day, World Environment Day and Human Rights Day.

Films that have been screened at BOZAR include:

The Choir” - a film about the music that united a group of inmates battling to survive in South Africa’s biggest prison.

Children of War” - follows the story of a group of former child soldiers in Northern Uganda.

Die Fremde” - over a 1,000 people attended to watch the story of a young woman of Turkish descent, fighting for an independent and self-determined life in Germany against the resistance of her family with terrible consequences.

Into Eternity” - the story of Onkalo, the world’s first permanent repository for high-level radio-active waste created by nuclear power plants.

Cairo 678” - tells the poignant story of three women and their search for justice from the daily plight of sexual harassment in Egypt.

Planet Ocean” - screened at the RIO+20 Summit to "change the way people look at the oceans and to encourage them to imagine conservation and stewardship as responsibilities shared by everyone on earth".

"NO" - the story of the plebiscite on Pinochet’s presidency in which the country could vote YES or NO to an extension of his rule for a further eight years.

"Sweet Dreams" - tells the moving and powerful story of Rwanda's first and only all women's drumming troupe. Made up of women from both sides of the 1994 Rwandan genocide, the troupe offers a place of support, healing and reconciliation. When the group decides to partner with two young American entrepreneurs to open Rwanda's first ever ice cream shop, these remarkable women embark on a journey of independence, peace and possibility.
