The 9 th anniversary of MEDIMED gives us an opportunity to commemorate 60 years of the UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights (1948-2008) .

We have opened a new section in the catalogue dedicated to those entered programs that deal with the Human Rights issue from various points of view. Over 30 titles are available for screening at the Docs Gallery.

The II Ahmed Attia's Award for the Dialogue of Cultures will be given to one of the documentaries entered this year in the dedicated section "MEDIMED Ready Made Projects" which shows new productions pitched in previous editions of the forum. Courtesy of APIMED, the winner will receive a 1.000,00 Euros cash prize, awarded to the producer of the best documentary pitched at MEDIMED.
