The Syracuse University Human Rights Film Festival (SUHRFF) celebrates 20 years of programming with outstanding films about human rights and social justice from around the world. Founded by Tula Goenka, professor of television, radio and film at the Newhouse Schoold and co-directed by Roger Hallas, associate professor of English, the annual festival is presented by the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications and the Syracuse University Humanities Center in the College of Arts and Sciences. SUHRFF (Sept. 22-24) is part of Syracuse Symposium 2022-23: REPAIR.
