WE CARE FILM FESTIVAL ON DISABILITY ISSUES 2010: CALL FOR ENTRIES
 
 
TO ALL CONCERNED,
 
Brotherhood, United Nations Information Centre (UNIC), United Nations
Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), the
National Trust and Asian Academy of Film and Television are pleased to
announce call for entries for the 7th edition of We Care Filmfest.  The
theme will be “Dignity and Justice for all”. 
 
Through the film festival, we aim to promote the rights of persons with
disabilities as set out in the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons
with Disabilities (UNCRPD), which came into force on 3 May 2008. 
 
The film festival will be held in two phases.   During the first phase
(September 2009 – November 2009), the festival (Retrospective We Care
Filmfest) will travel to various cities of India and award-winning
short films and documentaries of the last three years will be screened
in these cities. These films will also be screened in various
institutes of Mass Communication, Journalism and film making. The
purpose will be to promote We Care Filmfest and motivate students to
make short films and documentaries for upcoming film festival. 
 
During December 2009 – January 2010, received films and documentaries
will be short-listed by the preview committee for screening during the
film festival.
 
During the second phase (February 2010 – April 2010), the We Care
Filmfest-2010 will hold screenings in different cities across the
country.  We would invite students of Mass Communication and Journalism
to rate the films and documentaries and be part of a participatory
rating process which would give alternate opinion on the quality and
content of these films. This will be in addition to an independent jury
who will also adjudge the films, 
 
If you are interested, we can organise We Care Filmfest as per your
convenience (From Feb-Apr 2010).
 
As UNCRPD has entered into force on 3 May 2008, we will organize the
Award Ceremony on May 3, 2010.  During the award ceremony we will 1)
release a souvenir along with the report of the Wecare Filmfest-2010,
2) distribute award to the awardees and 3) Release DVD/CD of the
award-winning films.
 
We are enclosing herewith the details regarding “CALL FOR ENTRIES” for
We Care Filmfest-2010.
 
With regards
 
Sincerely yours
 
Satish Kapoor
