SCFFI aims to create a future where storytelling, and in particular film, are used to empower marginalised communities and individuals to tell their stories and instigate change to create
a more just, humane and sustainable future.
SCFFI hosts 4 days of films, panels, workshops and special events to build a global community focused on expanding the reach of conscious social change film and media.
THE CAMPAIGN
You will be supporting 2 filmmakers from Indonesia, (a country with only 1 film school), with the opportunity to attend film workshops taught by the best in the world. It would be an unparalleled chance for them to learn from the best in the film and social
change industry, gain exposure for their current projects, learn about important social and environmental issues, network with industry professionals and to become part of a truly global community of social change filmmakers.
WENSISLAUS FATUBUN
Wensislaus is a filmmaker who uses media to empower communities whose voices would otherwise go unheard.
In 2011 Wensislaus initiated the
Papuan Voices project . The project aims to teach the Papuan people video production and distribution skills so that they have the means to tell their own stories to the world. The project
overcomes political, geographical and financial barriers - as well as lack of technology - to bring important Papuan stories to the world. It shines light on the injustices that regularly occur behind the closed doors of this resource-rich and restive province.
Wensislaus was also founder of the Dayak Voices project in Kalimantan.
