“ARTIVIST” is the first international film festival dedicated to addressing Human Rights, Children's Advocacy, Environmental Preservation, and Animal Advocacy. Our mission is to strengthen the voice of socially conscious artists - "Artivists" - while raising public awareness for social global causes.

Since its inception in 2004, the Artivist Film Festival has showcased 400+ films representing more than 45 countries, and has reached millions of people with its traveling film festivals in Hollywood, London, Tokyo, Mexico City, and Lisbon, connecting companies and NGOs to an extensive international community. Artivist has been endorsed by Claes Nobel of the Nobel Prize family, the UNITED NATIONS, Amnesty International, and Friends of the United Nations.
