HRW YOUTH PRODUCING CHANGE: CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS

I posted this on the CoCo website, but I thought I'd put it here as well. If anyone is working with youth filmmakers, the Human Rights Watch International Film Festival has put out their Call for Submissions for 2010. Check out the website for the submission form, and the deadline is December 10, 2009.



Please spread the word!

Youth Film Program Suggestions

The Human Rights Watch film festival is looking for youth filmmaking programs to collaborate with this year. If you know of any organizations that are working on a film project, let me know!

Hope you're all having a good school year.

HRW International Film Festival presented...

Sorry I didn't post this earlier! The Human Rights Watch International Film Festival, in association with Adobe, screened work produced by youth around the world (mostly NYC students though). Topics ranged from youth homelessness to water as a human right. Some of the work was really stunning, and I couldn't believe how sophisticated some of the films were. This is the Adobe website, and they seem to sponsor other programs as well. The HRWIFF link seems to be broken, but here's the link to the films that played in New York. (The YPC link is at the bottom.)

Hope your summers are all going well!
