The Centre for Development Communication of DHAN Foundation is pleased
to invite filmmakers to take part in the
III Development Film Festival on Water and People to be held in
Madurai, India in September 25 -28, 2007
The third edition of the Festival focuses on 'Water'. Water is elixir
of life. Water is emotional and spiritual. It should not be considered
merely as physical or economic resource. Sharing of water is an
ethical imperative and expression of human solidarity.
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.
The last two festivals received a wider acclaim and participation from
the film making community. Films were curated by a diverse panel of
experts and selected films were screened during the Symposium for the
participants and public viewers. Films selected from among the
screened pool were awarded.
Procedure for entry:
To make entry of your product, send DVD/ VCDs to us and fill the
Submission Form. Complete the form making sure that the information is
