The 2011 We the Peoples Film Festival will again feature films relating to the United Nations Three Pillars of Freedom; the freedoms from want and from fear and the freedom to live in dignity. Also, we will feature films in partnership with international organisations and embassies. The Young Film Makers for Development Day will to be held at the BFI Southbank on Saturday 19 November.

Over five years the We the Peoples Film Festival has screened more than 150 films on human rights, development, security and peace. Its creative programming has included important initiatives including the UK’s first peace-themed film season, video-streaming workshops for NGOs and the world’s first festival of films on international development by young directors aged up to 19.

2011 Festival: What difference can a film make?
The 2011 Festival will tackle this question through screening features, documentaries and shorts that relate to the United Nations three pillars of freedom: the freedoms from want and from fear and the freedom to live in dignity. The Young Film Makers for Development Day held at the BFI Southbank on Saturday 19th November will bring together young people (age 15-25), industry professionals and decision makers to debate big issues, vote for the best films and take part in workshops with experts of the craft. There will also be a live video link-up with young film makers in South Africa, as well as the opportunity to win a film making bursary and mentorship. To view the Festival trailer, click here.
