All those wishing to submit entertaining, educational and inspirational films for the 2nd Annual Eco Kids Film Initiative (EKFI) have until 30 April to do so. The festival’s goal is 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.
EKFI 2012 is calling for films with the following theme(s) and / or topic(s):
– 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. Documentaries and narratives that are either live-action or animated are accepted. Entries should be for children, but not necessarily be about children. The target age group is 4-15 years in age.
Entries should reach EKFI no later than 30 April, 2012. The filmmakers will be notified no later than 30 June, 2012. The festival will take place in Cape Town in 2012.
