CALL FOR ENTRIES - TENTH ANNUAL WE CARE FILM FEST 2013
Dear Friend,
Sub: CALL FOR ENTRIES - TENTH ANNUAL WE CARE FILM FEST 2013
Brotherhood in association with the National Trust, the United Nations Information Centre for India and Bhutan (UNIC), the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), the Asian Academy of Film and Television (AAFT), the Global Rainbow Foundation and the Rapiscan Systems is organising tenth edition of We Care Film Festival.
The We Care Film Festival is an annual international travelling and educational film festival of short films and documentaries on disability issues. It travels to educational institutions and disability organizations aimed at sensitizing and engaging youth in the disability sector nationally and internationally.
The festival is an advocacy tool that seeks to bring about attitudinal and behavioral changes on approaches to disability, promote the inclusion of people with disabilities and rid people of misconceptions, myths and prejudices surrounding disability issues. The festival seeks 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 on various disabilities recognized by the Persons with Disabilities (Equal Opportunities, Protection of Rights and Full Participation) Act 1995 and the National Trust Act 1999.
In less than a span of nine years, this film festival has become a brand, raising awareness on disability rights issues nationally and internationally.
The Festival's uniqueness lies in the fact that audiences not only to watch but also rate each short film and documentary which gives an alternte opinion on the quality, content and treatment. An independent jury judges the films on the basis of these ratings.
The We Care Film Festival effort underlines the UN's commitment to inclusion ? in both development and human rights perspectives. This film festival has become a powerful advocacy tool that demands that our attitudes and biases towards persons with disabilities is altered, and that we see them through new eyes of equality, equity and full and unimpeded access and participation.
The We Care Film Festival will also be an important advocacy tool for the UN Information Centre as we embrace the next International Decade for Persons with Disabilities proposed by the UN for the period 2013-2022.
Entries of documentary films are invited for the 10th edition of We Care Film festival 2012 from anywhere from the world on the issues of disability till 5 November 2012.
