An arts and film festival, launched by a junior Clayton Utz lawyer to support human rights, is taking place in Melbourne.
The Human Rights Arts and Film Festival was developed by Evelyn Tadros when she was still at university and, as she says, "trying to avoid studying for a law exam". Launched with the aim of taking human rights issues to a wider audience it's now in its third year and has become a massive event. It will take place in Adelaide, Canberra, Sydney and Perth and, as Lawyers Weekly reports, it kicked off in Melbourne this week.
Tadros, who combines running the festival with working as a first year lawyer at Clutz, said that she was motivated to set up HRAFF by the fact that "there are human rights festivals pretty much all over the world, except for Australia".
The festival runs in Melbourne until the 9th May, before moving round the country. Click here for more information.
