Hello Everyone,
*Apologies for cross-posting.*
As part of the UN ActNow Climate campaign launched by UNSG Antonio Guterres to trigger individual action on climate change, the Mobile Film Festival is launching a call for films to engage directors, producers, screenwriters and actors/actresses in shaping a vision for a sustainable future free from climate breakdown. Filmmakers must submit their films before October 16th, 2019. Winning films will be broadcast in a ceremony on December 10th in Paris and will be awarded the following:
- International Grand Prize: €20 000 awarded by Youtube Creators for Change
- France Grand Prize: €20 000 awarded by Youtube Creators for Change
- Best Screenplay Award: €3 000 awarded by the CNC
- Best Director Award: 3 000€ awarded by the CNC
- The Extra Court Award: 700€ awarded by the Short Film Agency for the purchase of a film
The two €20 000 grants awarded by YouTube will allow the winning directors to produce in one year a short film with
professional means and the help of a producer. The CNC will award two €3 000 grants which will allow the winners to join writing residencies.
The Festival’s 100% digital aspect and its creative and brief format allow broadcast on all screens: mobile, tablet, computer, TV and cinema. Last year, the MFF received over 700 films from 81 countries and reached an audience of 21 million views.
CAN is one of several organizations, which partnered with the Mobile Film Festival in this project. Main partners include YouTube Creators for Change and the United Nations Climate Change (UNFCCC). The project is supported by more than 90 NGOs including 1% for the Planet, Ashoka, Care, Convergences, European Covenant of Mayors, European Environmental Bureau (EEB), International Federation for Human Rights (FIDH), Global Footprint Network, le Mouvement Colibris, Notre Affaire À Tous, On est prêt, Regions 20 (R20), Slow Food International, The Perfect World Foundation, Women 4 Climate and Zero Waste Europe, etc.
CAN will have free access to 50 selected films for both online and theater screenings, which will allow us to spread awareness and give people the chance to visulize a collective future where the climate crisis is resolved and not just the source of humanity’s downfall.
