With one in every 67 people on earth forcibly displaced due to conflict, war, or persecution, supporting displaced filmmakers and authentic storytelling around the experiences of displaced people has never been more urgent. Cate Blanchett – actor, producer and global Goodwill Ambassador for UNHCR (the UN Refugee Agency) – together with Oscar nominated filmmakers Koji Yanai (producer, Perfect Days), Waad Al-Kateab (director, For Sama), Jonas Rasmussen (director, Flee) and Head of the HBF, Tamara Tatishvili will discuss how the film industry can better represent these voices and experiences. Moderated by producer Uzma Hasan.

Access exclusively for press and industry delegates with pre-booking required.
