About FilmAid:Since 1999, FilmAid has
used the unique power of film to reach large numbers of people with critical
information in a compelling visual format, overcoming language and literacy
barriers. FilmAid uses films that are both educational and entertaining to draw
audiences’ attention to subjects of vital concern to their health and well-being.
Working with other relief agencies and community leaders, FilmAid identifies
emerging critical issues and develops appropriate film messages to help educate
and inform.
People of concern participate actively in the creation of these
films, and the resulting pieces are widely distributed and screened throughout
beneficiary communities.
In this way, FilmAid is able to respond to an immediate, unmet
need for locally relevant messaging.
Through real collaboration, FilmAid’s community-based films
support the work of other aid agencies and effectively address the issues and
concerns of beneficiary communities. FilmAid also seeks to experiment with
other media that can be used to achieve its stated goals
