Petar Milat je bivši filozof i glavni programski koordinator u Multimedijalnom institutu/MaMa (Zagreb, Hrvatska), zadužen za izdavačke, muzičke i filmske programe Instituta. Od 2008. direktor je Festivala filma o ljudskim pravima. Festival filma o ljudskim pravima neprofitni je projekt dviju istaknutih organizacija nezavisne kuture – Multimedijalnog instituta i Udruženja za razvoj kulture «URK», pokrenut 2002. godine s ciljem unaprjeđenja vidljivosti raznih tema s područja ljudskih prava u mediju filma. Od prvog, revijalnog izdanja u klupskim prostorima kluba MaMa i Močvare, HRFF je prešavši na veliko platno kontinuirano gradio profil festivala filmske kvalitete, jednako ostajući prepoznatljiv po svojim programima koji promoviraju otvorenost, multikulturalnost, toleranciju, slobodu izbora.

Bitna karakteristika festivala  jeste praksa festivalske turneje, odnosno, programa projekcija u drugim hrvatskim gradovima, u suradnji s lokalnim nevladinim organizacijama koje na taj način aktivno sudjeluju u prezentaciji Festivalskog programa promovirajući ljudska prava u svojim sredinama.  Veza normativne društvene i estetske teorije je glavni fokus njegovog istraživanja.

Petar Milat is a former philosopher and main program coordinator at the Multimedia Institute / MaMa (Zagreb, Croatia), in charge of publishing, music and film programs of the Institute. Since 2008, he has been the director of the Human Rights Film Festival. The Human Rights Film Festival is a non-profit project of two prominent independent cultural organizations - the Multimedia Institute and the Association for the Development of Culture "URK", launched in 2002 with the aim of improving the visibility of various human rights topics in the film medium. Since the first, revival edition in the club premises of MaMa and Močvara, HRFF has continuously built the profile of the film quality festival on the big screen, while remaining recognizable for its programs that promote openness, multiculturalism, tolerance, freedom of choice.

An important feature of the festival is the practice of the festival tour, ie screening programs in other Croatian cities, in cooperation with local NGOs that thus actively participate in the presentation of the Festival program promoting human rights in their communities. The connection between normative social and aesthetic theory is the main focus of his research.

Sesil Gilber (1963) je francuska autorka i književni kritičar. Diplomirala je na Sciences-Po Paris. Autorka je nekoliko eseja: Sen Simon ili mastilo subverzije (Saint-Simon ou l’encre de la subversion), 1994 ; Za Gi Deborija (Pour Guy Débord), 1996 ;  Najslobodniji pisac (L'Ecrivain le plus libre), 2004 ; Warhol Spirit, 2008 ; godine 2010. objavljuje Animaux & Cie, Narkotički spisi, droge i literatura od Homera do Vill Self-a (Ecrits Stupéfiants, drogues & littérature de Homère à Will Self), 2019 ; Slobodan točak (Roue libre), 2020.

Objedinila je svoje kritičke tekstove u Bez prepreka i bez zastoja I i II (Sans entraves et sans temps morts I et II) (2009,2015). Objavila je romane: Narodni muzej (Le musée National) (2000) ; Reanimacija (Réanimation)(2012); Republikanci  (Républicains ) (2017).  Pisan suverenim, rafiniranim stilom, roman Republikanci pruža nam ciničan, nesentimentalan, hladno realističan uvid u visoko društvo Pariza, ali i sliku savremene Francuske, države razdirane brojnim društvenim problemima.

Piše kolumne za France Culture, Canal Plus, Monde des Livres, Magazine Littéraire. 2008. godine je dobila nagradu Médicis za Warhol Spirit. Knjiga Warhol Spirit istovremeno je i esej i biografija te na određen način ulazi u Warholov paradoksni kod; ono pruža novo čitanje slavnog umjetnika, fotografa, pisca i modela Andyja Warhola. Knjiga sadrži dvadeset poglavlja u formi fragmenata i liste citata, što je rezultat velikog uticaja estetike kataloga i Warholovog širokog opusa. Ona kreira sliku Andyja Warhola kao oportunista, cinika, praznovjernika, globaliste i – genija.

Cecile Guilbert (1963) is a French author and literary critic. She graduated from Sciences-Po Paris. She is the author of several essays: Saint-Simon ou l’encre de la subversion, 1994; Pour Guy Débord, 1996; L'Ecrivain le plus libre, 2004; Warhol Spirit, 2008; published by Animaux & Cie in 2010. Ecrits Stupéfiants, drugs & literature of Homère à Will Self, 2019; Free wheel, 2020.

She has combined her critical texts in Sans entraves et sans temps morts I et II (2009,2015). She has published novels: Le musée National (2000); Reanimation (2012); Republicans (2017). Written in a sovereign, refined style, the novel Republicansgives us a cynical, unsentimental, coldly realistic insight into the high society of Paris, but also a picture of modern France, a state torn by numerous social problems.

She writes columns for France Culture, Canal Plus, Monde des Livres, Magazine Littéraire. In 2008, she received the Médicis Award for Warhol Spirit. The book Warhol Spiritis both an essay and a biography and in a way enters Warhol’s paradoxical code; it provides a new reading by famed artist, photographer, writer and model Andy Warhol. The book contains twenty chapters in the form of fragments and a list of quotations, which is the result of the great influence of the aesthetics of the catalog and Warhol's extensive opus. She creates the image of Andy Warhol as an opportunist, cynic, superstitious, globalist and - genius.
