Weekender 2026
October 15–18, 2026, at Filmhaus Nürnberg
We live in difficult and sobering times, but giving up is not an option. That is why the Weekender program of the Nuremberg International Human Rights Film Festival is presenting four international films on the themes of resistance, solidarity, and justice. The next “major” festival will follow in October 2027, as scheduled.
