Welcome to the One World Refugee Film Festival 2020!
For over 30 years, the One World Film Festival, the signature program of One World Arts (OWA), has been engaging audiences in the National Capital Region on important social justice issues of local to global concern, relying on the commitment and energy of a small group of dedicated volunteers. “This year we are thrilled to be able to partner with the Ottawa office of the United Nations High Commission for Refugees, Oxfam, Amnesty International, and CARE, to present the One World Refugee Film Festival as our main event,” says OWA president Gerry Schmitz. “Although the pandemic situation presents challenges, it has also pushed us to explore an online event accessible across Canada with the potential to reach and engage new audiences. With the support of these partners we are learning how to carry forward the mission of the One World Film Festival by creating opportunity out of crisis.”
