PLURAL + A YOUTH-PRODUCED VIDEO FESTIVAL ON MIGRATION AND DIVERSITY
Youth from around the world are invited to participate in the PLURAL+ Video
Festival on the themes of migration, diversity, and identity. The festival is
a joint initiative of the United Nations Alliance of Civilizations (UNAoC)
and the International Organization for Migration (IOM), in partnership with
many important international agencies.
PLURAL + aims to empower young people to speak about what they think of
migration and diversity and be heard by others all over the world.
Youth from all over the world (ages 9 to 25) are invited to submit short
videos on their thoughts, experiences, opinions, and questions on
migration-related themes and on the challenges of ensuring respect and
understanding among various communities.
An international jury which includes youth representatives, film critics and
critically acclaimed filmmakers such as Abbas Kiarostami, will announce
PLURAL + winners in New York on 18 December 2009, coinciding with
International Migrants Day. The winning videos will be awarded with a
range of exciting prizes and receive professional opportunities in addition
to international exposure through film festivals, conferences, broadcast,
satellite, and internet.
Partner organizations on the festival include the Anna Lindh Foundation,
BaKaFORUM, Chinh India, The Royal Film Commission of Jordan, AlJadeed TV,
NoGhetto / Respect Magazine, WithoutBordersFilmFestival, COPEAM, UNESCO
E-Platform, Roots & Routes, United Nations TV, Red UNIAL, NEXOSAlianza,
Center for Migration Studies, and UNICEF.
