Call for entries for the 2nd Annual Social Issue Media Festival

 

From Lalitha Vasudevan:

 

Dear friends and colleagues,

I'm excited to share with you news of our extended call for entries for the 2nd Annual Social Issue Media Festival -- now due February 14th!  Last year, we featured ten films produced by educators, graduate students, and researchers from the Columbia University community (collection can be found here: http://bit.ly/gzN0II).  This year, we have opened up the festival to the world (!) and we are actively seeking socially conscious media submissions from media makers around the globe -- amateurs to pros, diy-ers to video geeks, and everyone in between.  We hope to curate a festival that once again promotes nuanced and thoughtful dialogue about a range of issues that are of interest to a wide audience.  In particular, we hope to push the conversation about education inside and outside of school, especially at a time when classrooms, schools, and curricula have a starring role in a number of popular documentary films.

Please consider submitting an entry for this year's media festival -- and please share this announcement far and wide with your friends, students, colleagues, communities, and beyond!  (Social media embed options available on our website: http://www.socialissuemediafest.org/contact-us)


Warm wishes for a happy and healthy 2011!

Lalitha
