For the second year, the British Council is partnering with the global campaign 1 Minute to Save the World, a competition for filmmakers.
Young film-makers from around the world can take part in the international film competition by entering one minute films on regional climate change by December 17. The films will be shown on the internet, at targeted political screenings and film festivals worldwide.
Winning films will be screened in front of world leaders at the COP16, an international summit on climate change and be part of an on-line campaign going out to millions of viewers. Winners also have a chance on receiving £5000 as well as film making equipment.
“Youth Visions” is for the best film by a filmmaker under the age of 25, including a written proposal of how the prize money would be spent. “Best Film” is for any one minute film on climate change entered by a filmmaker of any age. “Best Youth Film” is for any one minute Film on climate change entered by a filmmaker 18 years of age or under (If you are submitting a film to this category and are under 18, please remember that a parent or guardian must submit your film for you).
