PACE President Petra Bayr has presented the seventh ‘Human Rights in Motion’ Award at the Krakow Film Festival to 'Tickling The Devil', a documentary by Polish documentary photographer and film-maker Piotr Małecki and Polish documentary photographer Maciej Nabrdalik.
The film, centred on renowned war photographer Christopher Morris, is a human reflection on the long shadow cast by war, trauma, memory, and the defence of truth. It explores the psychological toll of bearing witness to violence and the struggle to find peace after decades spent documenting conflict.
The Human Rights in Motion Award was established in 2024 at the initiative of the PACE President. It honours the director of the documentary that best promotes human rights and the defence of democratic values. It is awarded to the films submitted to four international documentary film festivals annually by a jury selected by the festival.
The winner receives a €5,000 prize and a commemorative plaque.
