CALL FOR EXPRESSIONS OF INTEREST AMONG FILM MAKERS

Deadline for proposals: 2 October 2014



Calling all film makers who would like to challenge their creativity in showcasing
stories of persistence in advancing inclusive community-based disaster risk
reduction (ICBDRR) and as a result, help save more lives and secure futures.

Wed love to know how you would weave powerful stories of individuals and
communities which seriously thought about the needs and abilities of women,
children, persons with disabilities, indigenous peoples and those in remote
communities --- or those who are often marginalized and rendered vulnerable
when they prepared for disasters and embarked on climate change adaptation
measures.

We know of so many individuals and communities whose stories of ingenuity, stake-
holding, partnerships simply have to be documented so that more would be inspired
to assert their human rights, participate meaningfully in drawing up their communitys
development, investment and contingency plans, and effect changes in our policies
and practices as a country that ought to learn from the many disasters which hit us
and indeed build back better.

If you decide to accept this challenge and transform limitations into opportunities,
send us a formal indication of your interest, along with your porforlio and links
to samples of your work on or before 2 October 2014. Before you start writing,
make sure that you have read the creative brief.

The budget for this film is quite reasonable that we encourage both upcoming and
more experienced film makers to take a chance. More details will be shared to three
short-listed film makers.

Send your expressions of interest to Nina Somera, MSomera@oxfam.org.uk and
icommittodrr@gmail.com or mail them to 4th Floor, 150 Corporate Center, 150
Panay Avenue, 1104 Quezon City, Philippines (Tel. +632 373-2167 loc. 204)
