Stories from the Field: The Second Annual United Nations Documentary Film Festival

The Media Communications Association - International, New York Chapter, and the United Nations Department of Public Information are pleased to announce Stories from the Field, the Second Annual United Nations Documentary Film Festival. The Festival will take place on Saturday, April 22, and Sunday, April 23, 2006, and will feature two full days of film screenings, panel discussions with the filmmakers, and award presentations. The Festival is presented in cooperation with The New School. Filmmakers from or contracted by United Nations offices, funds, programs, and agencies around the world and — for the first time this year — from the general public were invited to submit films that reflect the United Nations Millennium Development Goals, www.un.org/millenniumgoals. Nearly 200 films were submitted by filmmakers on five continents — many already award-winners. The film judging will take place February 4 through 11 with finalists announced on February 15. The final selections will be screened in the Tishman Auditorium, The New School, 66 W. 12 St., New York, NY. For more information, visit us on the Web at www.mcainy.org/unfilm.
