Lina Vdovîi and Radu Ciorniciuc win the first PACE ‘Human Rights in Motion’ Award at the Biarritz Documentary Film Festival

PACE President Theodoros Rousopoulos presenting the first ever "Human Rights Motion" Award - for documentary films - at the FIPADOC International Film Festival in Biarritz, February 2025.

The first “Human Rights in Motion” Award was granted on Friday 31 January in Biarritz by PACE President Theodoros Rousopoulos to Lina Vdovîi and Radu Ciorniciuc, the directors of the documentary Papa-Tata, in the framework of the Fipadoc International Documentary Film Festival in Biarritz.

The “Human Rights in Motion” Award was established last year at the initiative of the PACE President to honour the director of the documentary which best promotes human rights and the fight for democratic values. It is awarded to films submitted to four international documentary film festivals taking place across the year, by a jury selected by the festival.

The winners received €5,000 Prize and a plaque.
