Considering both the reports on film festival, the points that give insight about what were the pleasurable moments of the festival. The pleasurable moments of the festival was that this year there was no performances that were considered as objectifying women, the performances leads with some technical issues like defects in harness that can cause a major scene in front of audience is a ritual, this makes the reporter think that it was planned in order to gain the attention of audience. The event that made the KVIFF a sensitive issue was that the gender disbalancein the festival as well as the career promotions at the festival. As compare to the berlinale who considered the gender ration in the festival, the KVIF was not very considerate towards the gender issue and its balancing (Howard, 2019).
The Berlinale festival took a turn this year with having two co-directors, the reporters cover every detail shared between the two co-directors. What made this year festival more amusing than any other was seeing two genders in the main directory role? The thing that was not pleasurable for the reporters was timing of the festival , the festival was happening when the outbreak of major pandemic was happening as well as another major event was taking place in US. The profile of berlinale was at stake as the audience was going to be divided due to major events happening as well as it was tough for the reports to cover this many events all at once. Another thing that amused the reports was the competition section of the festival, but the most amusing part was that there were many new directors in this competition, as well as berlinale was not going for the Hollywood glitz. Instead it chooses to include new talents into its competition. The major event was the hosting of event by international jury which was going to bring a great amount of press of the festival. The introduction of films with unique narrative also enhances this year berlinale festival as the berlinale was evolving. The new directors were not hosting the Hollywood glamour this year, but till many major stars were present at this event (Kürten, 2020).

Corona virus lockdown has cause may issues in the industry as well as in overall economy of the work. The film industry is an entertainment industry that is providing major entertainment to the people in lockdown. Due to the prevailing situations many events as well as festivals have been postponed considering the medical concerns related with the prevailing situation. In order to perform its role as an entertainment provider the authorities decided to hold an online film festival so that people can be entertained as well as the 50% of the income will be donated to help people. The authorities are trying very hard to engage people and also providing help in the ongoing situation in the world. Conducting a movie night in the replacement of festival will engagement people, will give them something to look forward to in this time of pandemic. The quarantine short film festival is a weekly festival that broadcast short films (Jenkis, 2020). According to my perspective this effort is very effective as well as it is a good initiative, according to the researchers people are suffering from different psychological distresses which are causing major change in mood, feeling and the major functioning. The chances of domestic abuse have been increase as the whole family has to live under one roof without any escape. In this kind of situations the screening of festival and hosting movie nights is a very great idea. This gives the viewers a hope to have something new and special every week or every night which keep they engage in it. The other departments are also using the available resources and trying make best out of this situation consider the example of education system, the education system is conducting online classes in order to prevent any delay in the degrees of people as well as to keep studentsbuzzy in this lockdown. The another example is online short courses conduct by various institutions, these kind of short courses are giving people an opportunity to utilize the available time to learn sometime new online and have a new skill. Many people are putting their efforts up front to engage people into various activities in order to minimize the anxiety and stress that has been cause by the lockdown. The present situation is very out of control but the efforts of entertainment, education and other institutions is praise worthy (Campbell, 2020).

Setting up a Human Rights Film Festival centers around the requirements and difficulties of celebrations that are growing everywhere throughout the creating scene and those in nations where vote based frameworks are as yet emanant or non-existent. Setting up a film celebration that help the fundamental human right is extremely testing thinking about the current decent varieties in the motion pictures and the analysis. Promoting movies that highlight the major human right issue around the world can be challenging as there are different cuktures, societies and religion that have their own set of rules that recognize the rights of their people. Putting forward movie that promote basic human right can be challenging as well as esthetic. But one has to consider that this is a very problematic task (Eagles, 2019).
There are many considerations while planning a festival from scratch, the main things that comes first of all are fund raising for an event as well as the budget, guest list, the expenses, the technical consideration. A celebration incorporate a great deal of things and require an entire group and diverse division to set up it, defeating apparently inconceivable strategic issues, moving toward new crowds new to film, including the human rights network, managing oversight and security dangers and assessing results. (Human Rights Watch Film Festival, 2019)
The films featuring the human right aim to reach maximum audience and to produce maximum impact, the human right festival are very basic and effective step to introduce films that are very crucial for the audience and it can increase the area of reach as well as the level of effectiveness. The human right festival needs a large amount of human right agencies, activists, social media influencers and much more (Eagles, 2019).
Another main thing to internationalize the human right festival is the advertisement of festival and formulation of handbook for the festival. The festival has to be very clear in its motive as well as its efforts any ambiguity in this will produce anarchy and the whole aim of the festival will be ruined if the management would neglect these minute details. The training of the management staff and the other crew is very important as the human right film festival is not the ordinary festival as Grammy and other festivals; it’s a festival with the clear motive of using the entertainment industry for betterment of human right situations prevailing around the world (Eagles, 2019).
