MUBI is proud to be continuing its partnership with the Human Rights Watch Film Festival, whose 2015 event in New York begins today and runs through June 21. To celebrate the festival, MUBI will be showing two retrospective highlights from past programs, as well as an additional documentary by one of HRWFF’s favorite filmmakers, Fernand Melgar, whom you may remember from The Shelter, which we showed in March. Finally, we're debuting a film directly from this year's program: Ayat Najafi's No Land's Song, recipient of the festival's Nestor Almendros Award for courage in filmmaking.
The following films will be given 30-day online runs on MUBI in the United States during the festival:
After Tiller (Martha Shane & Lana Wilson, 2013)
The Fortress (Fernand Melgar, 2008)
No Land's Song (Ayat Najafi, 2014)
Special Flight (Fernand Melgar, 2011)
