Description

UNESCO seeks one partner to design and implement a “Film Residency for Young Women Filmmakers’ in Africa” — a four week program dedicated to supporting ten emerging African women filmmakers. This initiative aims to foster a more inclusive African film industry by addressing gender disparities and promoting diverse storytelling.
Through the residency, the ten participants will enhance their creative, technical, and networking skills, through the making of ten short films, that showcase their unique perspectives and narratives. Beyond the production of short films, the residency aims to equip participants with industry connections and career development opportunities, ensuring lasting impact.
