Each series of the Oxford Amnesty Lectures has been turned into a book. Many of these books have become basic texts for students, and a number of them have been translated into other languages. As well as raising funds by yielding royalties, these books have served the educational objectives of the Oxford Amnesty Lectures by fuelling debate and raising the profile of human rights issues worldwide.

In 2003 we added a film component to the Oxford Amnesty Lectures. The Phoenix Picturehouse hosted "City Films" and "Movement of the People", while The Vaults and Garden Organic Café hosted screenings to tie in with the series on "Land Rights" and "War on Terror", in association with Undercurrents.

In 2007 OAL formed a partnership with the Fifth Annual Oxford Brookes Human Rights Film Festival. An initiative of the post-graduate students on the MA programme in Humanitarian and Development Practice at the Centre for Development and Emergency Practice (CENDEP), the Human Rights Film Festival aims to raise awareness about a range of human rights concerns, through the accessible medium of film, to the Oxford community.

Oxford Brookes University's Sixth Human Rights Film Festival, on Hope, will run from 29 February to 9 March 2008. For more information see www.brookes.ac.uk/schools/be/cendep/humanrights, or contact Bethanie Cunnick at cendep@brookes.ac.uk or 01865 483239.
