INTRODUCTION
TO DOCUMENT 5 
Five years on
Documentary filmmakers are at the forefront of highlighting
human rights issues around the world. In 2007, Document 5, will
once again screen a diverse range of inspiring documentary works
- including more than 40 UK Premieres and 15 world premieres.
It's our fi fth birthday and we have had an overwhelming response
from across the world to this year's call for submissions, refl
ecting the growing international interest in human rights, and
in Document as a forum for highlighting and exploring human
rights' issues.
Document 5 will present a programme of around 80 short and feature
length fi lms exploring a wide range of local, national and
international human rights issues. This year's programme features
thought-provoking, beautiful and powerful work ranging from
cinematic explorations of the human condition to politically
charged frontline reportage, aiming to promote a deeper understanding
of international human rights.
We have four jam-packed days of film, discussion, music and
culture. And that's not all... there will also be free vegetarian
food from the produce of local allotments courtesy of Broth
Mix, the Radical Independent Bookfare, Electron Club and the
return of the Document Videotheque where you can catch any of
the fi lms you've missed.
Come along, look at work, be informed, join in discussions,
meet local and international fi lmmakers, enjoy our social events
and celebrate the diversity of human life portrayed in these
films.
