Eco Kids Film Festival

Tue, 17 Jan 2012 16:08

Organisers of the Eco Kids Film Festival, to take place in Cape Town later this year, are calling for entries.
Through films that are entertaining, educational, and above all inspirational it is the Eco Kids Film Initiative’s goal to inspire real change through the children of today and generations to come by promoting a proactive strategy to environmental awareness through film as medium.
Films with the following theme(s) and/or topic(s) are welcome:
- Earth, air and water
- Conservation/wildlife
- Sustainability
The guiding philosophy for the selection process is ‘earth action’ and ‘earth inspiration’. In other words, films should be by-or-about people and actions that can inspire kids to take action in their own communities and schools.

The films should be between two minutes to 15 minutes in length. The organisers accept documentaries and narratives that are either live-action or animated. Entries should be for children, not necessarily be about children. The target age group is 4-15 years in age.

Entries should be submitted no later than 30 April. The filmmakers will be notified no later than 30 June.
The entry form can be downloaded at: http://whileyouweresleeping.wordpress.com

EKFI is partnered with Cape Town Non-profit, While You Were Sleeping, and Hearth Heritage.
