International Community Film Festival 2008 - Call For Films

The 2008 International Community Film Festival
11th September – 12th October 2008

Call for Films

What’s happening in your part of the world?
How are you creating a better world?
What challenges do you face?
What successes have you had?
Have you used film to document your experiences?

The themes for this year's festival include:

- Global citizenship – how your actions contribute to global issues and how global issues are affecting you

- Conflict resolution – moving beyond conflict and promoting harmony

- Diversity – understanding and respecting differences
human rights – knowing about and promoting human rights

- Interdependence – your community in a global context

- Social justice – valuing equality and fairness; challenging injustice

- Sustainable development – valuing our natural resources and the environment

- Values and perceptions – awareness that people have different values, attitudes and perceptions

We are delighted to be able to offer a prize fund of £2000/ $4000 for the best films submitted.

The emphasis from the start has been on films made by local people that record life in their community. The selection committee are looking
for a strong message rather than big budget films.

Selected films will be shown in the UK, 11th September – 12th October 2008

There will be an ambitious programme of educational outreach which will involve International Development days held in UK schools, led by young people.

To enter, all you need to do is send us three copies of your film on DVD - and send us a completed application form.

Please ensure that your film arrives in the UK by 11 July 2008.
