The Vermont International Film Festival is a founding member of the HUMAN RIGHTS FILM NETWORK, a partnership of human rights film festivals around the world. The Network promotes exchange, communication and collaboration regarding the representation of human rights issues in moving pictures.
The idea of the Network originated in informal contacts between festival coordinators.
