Our Work
Leveraging the power of film to make a tangible difference in communities worldwide.
Communities in crisis need information and empowerment.
FilmAid provides both, to millions of people suffering the effects of war, poverty, displacement, and disaster. Films offer a way to reach many people at once: overcoming language and literacy boundaries, providing information where it is needed, and inspiring hope where it is lacking. By offering communities that can often be marginalized a voice on the issues that affect them, these programs create opportunities for self-advocacy and self-determination.
The Components Of Our Work
Short-term, intensive, and online training programs, pilot camps, and mentoring.
Community screenings and film events to build awareness and engage communities.
Opportunities to engage in regional and global film communities through panels, festivals, and conferences.
Film pitch and contest events, and local grants for filmmaking and film training.
Our Theory of Change
Through these activities, FilmAid makes a practical impact on critical issues, from health education to human rights, conflict resolution to economic empowerment. These same programs are designed to alleviate psychological problems associated with trauma, isolation, idleness, and despair, offering hope through the simple joy of the movies and the creative outlet of self-expression.
