Student Voices: Shaping the Conversation about Genocide and Human Rights

Admission is free.

USC students will help shape the conversation about genocide and human rights by creating short films using video testimony from the USC Shoah Foundation Institute’s Visual History Archive. In the fall semester, students will participate in a competition (see details below) to make films exploring such issues as discrimination and violence, responses to genocide and the role of videotaped eyewitness accounts. This event will showcase the student works and include an announcement of the competition winners. Following the screening, students will participate in a discussion about the use of eyewitness testimony in raising awareness about genocide and human rights with Holocaust survivor and Academy Award–winning producer Branko Lustig (Schindler’s List, Gladiator) and faculty from the USC School of Cinematic Arts.

Organized by the USC Shoah Foundation Institute. Co-sponsored by the Institute for Multimedia Literacy, the School of Cinematic Arts and the Levan Institute for Humanities and Ethics.
