Future Freedom Venezia: the Launch of the Annual Human Rights Award
For Immediate Release 31st August 2011 FUTURE FREEDOM VENEZIA: THE LAUNCH OF THE ANNUAL HUMAN RIGHTS AWARD A new human rights award will be launched at a reception in Venice this week, to recognise humanitarian acts by high profile members of the creative community. Launching at the Venice Film Festival, Future Freedom: The Annual Human Rights Award is a new initiative that will honour individuals who have championed human rights and who have made an outstanding contribution in speaking out for those who cannot highlight injustice, oppression and suffering in our world. The award, established by Italian philanthropist Manuele Malenotti, will pay tribute to those inspirational individuals who use their celebrity to speak out on social injustice. The initiative is to be presented annually at an international film festival, enabling Malenotti to harness his passion for film with his strong personal convictions to acknowledge exceptional celebrity activism. As owner of film production company (Black Water productions) Malenotti is a familiar face on the international film festival circuit and has hosted many successful fundraisers at Cannes and Venice film festivals and during the Oscars. Malenotti also sits alongside George Clooney on the board of (Running Heart foundation). Of the Future Freedom Award, Malenotti says “I am greatly inspired by men and women who choose to channel their time and energy in such admirable and positive ways. In my life I have witnessed so much generosity and courage from high profile people who could so easily ignore the human suffering in our world. This annual award will seek to honour such commitment and also shine a light on some of the most urgent humanitarian crises facing the world.” The cocktail reception to launch the award will be held in honour of Tasha de Vasconcelos, EU Ambassador for Human Rights, for her ceaseless commitment to maternal mortality rates in her native Africa.
