FilmAid International

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.
