To motivate emerging short filmmakers who love to make films on human issues and sustainability, the United Nations Foundation and Sony Pictures Television Networks (SPTN) have together launched Picture This Festival for the Planet,
The last date of submission of short films is 30 April 2018.
The group will select three films from India, and the first 100 entries from India will each receive a WeTransfer Plus account for a year. Entries will be received from 70 countries. Filmmakers can submit videos between one and eight minutes in length inspired by the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), a set of global goals agreed upon by all 193-member states of the United Nations to end poverty, protect the planet and promote prosperity for all.
According to Sony Pictures Television Networks president Andy Kaplan, “At Sony, we are proud champions of the intersection between storytelling and innovation and are incredibly excited to spearhead Picture This. With the support of the United Nations Foundation and our other partners, we look forward to elevating and amplifying these important development goals through the voices of emerging creatives and acknowledge their good work in a meaningful way.”
United Nations Foundation Deputy CEO Elizabeth Cousens said “The Picture This Festival for the Planet is an innovative new platform to connect global audiences to what is happening on the ground as people put the SDGs into action in their daily lives. The United Nations Foundation appreciates Sony’s deep commitment to sustainability and its willingness to leverage its creativity and reach to bring the SDGs to new audiences. By celebrating individual stories of people around the world actively working to protect people and planet, Picture This will help inspire others to join the effort to realize these ambitious – and achievable – goals.”
