The International Film Festival and Forum on Human Rights (FIFDH) has been held annually in Geneva since 2003.

"The concept of the festival: a film, a subject, a debate has made it possible to establish a real dialogue between film makers, NGO members, academics and the public, all of whom are
preoccupied with the active defense of human rights."

"We hold a strong conviction that a film, a voice, or a story—be it conveyed by an individual or a group—has the potential to instigate a shift in consciousness, spark new ideas and commitments, and ultimately drive social change."

The festival awards several films in a few different categories. This is a list of what is considered the top award, which is for the best overall creative documentary.

*Note: in 2008 the Grand Prize was awarded to two films.
