About POWER OF FILM AND MOVING IMAGE
Designed as a global incentive to enact positive change, POWER OF FILM AND MOVING IMAGE will be an annual cultural happening and digital platform to see, expose and explore the ever-growing power and influence of film and moving image to define the modern world and the way we think. Through a series of thought provoking discussions the project will identify and examine historical and current moments captured on all forms of film and moving image - from 8mm cinema and broadcast television to digital, online and social media - and its significant cultural, social and political impact.

As part of the platform’s commitment to provoke this ongoing discussion, a program is being developed to produce a series of short documentaries inspiring social change. Details will be announced at a later date.
