About the UNHCR Refugee Film Festival - University Partners

To commemorate the 10th anniversary of UNHCR Refugee Film Festival, we will launch an initiative “UNHCR Refugee Films Festival – University Partners”. The universities involved are our indispensable partners for advocating and studying refugee issues in Japan and will be raising awareness of those forcibly displaced through film.

Each participating university will organize film screening events of selected films from the 10th Refugee Film Festival or films screened during the past editions of Refugee Film Festival.
