Original Film Festival Guidance

Submitted films must be less than 12 minutes long to be festival eligible. Those projects with films running more than 12 minutes are encouraged to edit their films down to comply with the length restriction and then submit the edited film for consideration.

An independent panel will select films from the submission pool for festival screening. A judging panel consisting of a representative sample of key IW portfolio stakeholder groups will determine the winner during the festival.

Films will be scored based on: (1) uniqueness of topic; is it an innovative approach to IW issues that could be replicated? (2) good progress made; does it show clear impacts of intervention and the catalytic role played by the GEF? (3) quality of information; it is educational and does it provide good promotional value to the project and GEF IW? and (4) production value; is it visually pleasing and overall enjoyable?

Please submit your film to taylor@iwlearn.org by October 19, 2018.
