The Human Rights Watch Film Festival, which ran from 1988 to 2024, was created to encourage discussion, raise awareness, and inspire action on human rights issues through the power of storytelling.
This project reimagines the festival as an on-demand OTT platform aimed at Gen Z and Alpha audiences, shaped around their digital behaviour and media consumption habits. The identity was strategically developed to increase engagement with human rights issues through an algorithm-led discovery system and a low-friction, high-frequency viewing experience inspired by platforms such as Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok.
The visual identity focuses on accessibility, immediacy, and continuous interaction, positioning social engagement and entertainment driven interfaces as a gateway to deeper awareness of global issues.
