AMP: Artists' Meeting Place and Resource Collective

The Women's Affairs Center in Gaza is preparing to launch its first festival for women's films before the end of 2009, reported Menassat.

To be held under the title "Gaza in the eyes of women," the festival aims to shed light on the cinema of women and highlight the creativity existing in ranks of Arab and Palestinian women. It will launch in September 2009 at the Rashad al-Shawa cultural center in Gaza City.

The festival is projected to screen around 50 films, which will include local entries, as well as films from Egypt, Algeria, Iraq, Morocco, Sudan and Jordan.

Youth journalists -- under 25 years of age -- can submit a one-minute video related to children's rights, either by illustrating a right or referencing children's rights as a whole. Deadline: August 30.

A total of 10 videos will be selected and featured on UNICEF- Voices of Youth, a site dedicated to empowering youth worldwide. One video will be named the winner on November 20 at the 20th anniversary of the Convention on the Rights of the Child, and it will be distributed to TV channels around the world.

Submissions can be sent by an individual or a group. Videos should be original and free of copyright materials. Videos in all languages are accepted, but an English language transcript of the script or summary must be included.
