Community Supported Film strengthens the documentary filmmaking capacity in crisis and post-crisis communities where the dissemination of objective and accurate information is essential. Local women and men are trained to produce stories on their community’s socioeconomic issues. The films are screened in public engagement campaigns to influence local and international perspectives on sustainable paths to a more peaceful and equitable world.
In the interest of amplifying the voices and expertise of Afghans, Community Supported Film conducted an intensive 5-week training of 10 Afghans in documentary production in the fall of 2010. Within the complex environment of contemporary Afghanistan, all ten trainees - including 4 women and 6 men, representative of 3 different ethnic groups – successfully completed the program, developing and producing ten character-driven short documentaries. The resulting films are gathered in the collection The Fruit of Our Labor: Afghan Perspectives in Film. Several trainees went on to win contracts for three commissioned film projects which have since been produced and broadcast, and local ownership was established with the creation of the regionally licensed Afghan Community Supported Film Association.
All ten films will be available on Daazo.com until November 23rd, 2013. For more information on Community Supported Film or "The Fruit of Our Labor," please visit http://bit.ly/fruitofourlabor
