Water and Life: II Development Film Festival - Call for Productions

The Centre for Development Communication of DHAN Foundation is
pleased to invite filmmakers to take part in

The II Development Film Festival on Water and Life
to be held in Madurai, India in September 28-30, 2006

The Second Development Film Festival has been planned on the
theme 'Water & Life'. Water is life, physical, emotional and
spiritual. It should not be considered merely as economic resource.
The vital nature of water makes it possible cause of tension but,
more importantly, a potential source of cooperation. Raising the
public awareness and political will needed to implement sustainable
water management requires multi-media strategies promoting the
values of water, its efficient us, disaster mitigation, and the
protection of water resources. The Festival will showcase the
exemplary works done by the documentary film makers on the issues
and dimensions of Water.

If you have recently made a documentary, a short fiction film or a
television programme on the theme of water that is ground-breaking
in form or content, inventive, challenging or going beyond
conventions, we are interested in screening your work.

The Centre for Development Communication (CDC) of DHAN Foundation
works towards promoting use of information and communication as a
tool for development. Also it strives for working with print and
electronic media for highlighting development work. As a step
forward in this endeavor the CDC is organizing a Development Film
Festival every year.
