...And ACTION! 
The second annual EKFI film festival is 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. This year we’re asking 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 2 minutes to 15 minutes in length. We 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 reach us 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. 
• Please download the entry form at: http://whileyouweresleeping.wordpress.com
• For more information contact the festival director Tarien Roux at: info.ekfi@gmail.com 

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

ARTISTS at COP17, DURBAN

In the spirit of collaboration and creative solidarity and also in an effort to distinguish the unique contributions as Artists to COP17, COPART will host an open platform for all local and visiting artists to share plans, collaborate and, if needed, support each other in performances or activities.

 

HOSTED BY THE  COPART MOVEMENT

The broad sphere of sustainability oftentimes responds to the symptoms of climate change and environmental decline, or perhaps the structural or technical elements of our system, aiming to try 'fix' the problems, as if only a single component is 'broken'.  Yet we all know the social and natural world is too complex and organic to be treated like a broken toaster.

While many are responding to the technological, scientific, economic and political responses to climate change, artists are working with the systemic cultural foundations that underpin meaningful social change.

Everyone with an imagination is welcome to this open exchange 

WHERE: STUDIO 5 THEATRE at UKZN, DURBAN
WHEN: 29th November 201,  9h30-12h30
Invitation to artists of all disciplines who will be at COP17.
