THEMES

This year the theme is LIBERTY.

To help us celebrate 50 years of Zambian Independence, we would like you to create a unique, compelling and personal short film that explores the idea of freedom and what it means to you.

Our goal is to use film as a tool for storytelling. Freedom is the utmost basic right of every human being. This is what drives human beings. The power of freedom has been seen to promote human dignity and peace. Freedom takes many forms, whether it's freedom of expression or freedom to exist. Freedom is not an idea limited to national independence or borders. Freedom is also allowing others to be free. We want your films to show and express what LIBERTY entails for you.
