Discover the 7 winning short films and 4 special mentions from the jury
The World Health Organization has announced the official selection of this year’s winning films at its 4th Annual Health for All Film Festival, held at WHO Headquarters in Geneva.
The event, attended in person and online by actors, producers, and public figures, saw winning films announced for 7 different categories, while 4 films received special mentions from the jury.
Since 2020, the Health for All Film Festival has gathered more than 4300 submissions from 110 countries. In April 2023, our catalog proposes almost 300 titles to improve the health status of people globally.
A shortlist has been selected for the 4th Health for All Film Festival. WHO staff from all over the world participated in this preselection.
WHO is also very grateful that acclaimed professionals from the film industry and humanitarian activism have accepted to participate in this edition of the Health for All Film Festival jury along with WHO senior experts.
“Being a Juror for the Health For All Film Festival was a deeply satisfying job - so many subjects I knew nothing about suddenly coming to life in the work of some remarkable filmmakers. And the actual judgment day was gripping - really varied and passionate points of view from everyone on the panel. It was a real pleasure and a real privilege.”
The Health for All Film Festival (HAFF) has its online awards ceremony every year between May and June. It is an opportunity to meet the winners and converse with the film producers, our HAFF jury, and global health experts. This dialogue continues throughout the years with more precise panel discussions recorded and available for health promotion and health education activities.
In-person screenings of some of our winning and selected films have been organized by various WHO Offices and by several of our HAFF institutional partners from a growing network. These events represent additional opportunities for this educational dialogue between filmmakers and health experts, building up our global movement for positive behavior changes through films.
