Screen Africa readers are invited to participate in an exciting global film project called 11/11/11.
On 11th November 2011 (11/11/11), people all over the world who have access to a film/video camera (or any recording device) will be invited to capture this day in their lives. This footage will then be used for:
• a 2 hour cinematic documentary
• a photographic book
• a world music album.
11/11/11 is a not for profit venture. Its aims are:
• to raise money for organisations supporting the Millennium Development Goals (Help end Poverty/Hunger, Universal Education, Health, Combat Disease, Environmental Sustainability & Global Partnership)
• to bring people from all around the world together through film, music and art
• create a network of filmmakers, photographers and musicians who can collaborate and learn from one another
• to lift man-made boundaries and cultivate a more globally aware and compassionate world
• to bring about positive communication amongst all people.
All you have to do to be involved is:
• Tell as many people as you can about the 11/11/11 project, by forwarding them this email and telling them about our website: www.11elevenproject.com.
• Inform and Encourage everyone to participate in the 11/11/11 project.
• Encourage your contacts to join our Facebook group – www.facebook.com/11elevenproject
And – create a video of your life, in a day, on 11/11/11.
This could be a great opportunity to raise Zimbabwe’s global profile and a chance for members footage to be seen by millions of people all around the world at the UN World Peace Day.
So far there are over 48 countries and 42 universities/film schools/ companies participating. Partners include New York Video School, London Academy of Media Film & TV, and International Film School, Sydney Australia.
