Do you believe in gender equality for an equal future? Are you between 18 and 30 and passionate about creative storytelling to visualize your belief in women’s rights and activism? This is your chance to show the world your work!

About the Film Festival

The Generation Equality Film Festival will take place during the Generation Equality Forum, a global gathering for gender equality, convened by UN Women and co-hosted by the governments of Mexico and France, with the partnership of civil society. Kicking off in Mexico City on 29–31 March 2021, and culminating in Paris in June 2021, the Forum will secure a set of transformative commitments for gender equality.

Eligibility:

Be to-the-point: Films must not exceed 3 minutes of running time, including credits.
Be original: Only original works that have not been presented to other festivals.
Be under 30: Professional and non-professional filmmakers and storytellers of all genders ages 18-30 years old are invited to submit works.
Be action-oriented: Films should capture stories about taking action to change realities, hearts and minds, for a gender-equal generation.
Be creative and diverse: any film type is accepted, fiction, nonfiction or documentary, experimental videos, animation, and more. We encourage a creative spirit that reflects youth activism – diverse, inclusive, original.

The winner of each category will receive a cash prize of 1,000 USD.

Filmmakers must choose one category: Feminist movements and Leadership; Economic Justice and Rights; or Women, Peace and Security and Humanitarian Action.

Awards & Prizes

Filmmakers must choose only one category: Feminist movements and Leadership; Economic Justice and Rights; or Women, Peace and Security and Humanitarian Action.

The winner of each category will receive a cash prize of 1,000 USD.

Rules & Terms

1) General terms of participation:

– You can submit one video only to the film festival for consideration through the online platform on FilmFreeway, subject to the rules.
– Films must not exceed 3 minutes of running time, including credits.
– The period for submissions is from 12 February 2021 through 12 March 2021 at midnight EST.
– The content of all submissions must address gender equality and women´s empowerment issues.
– Every submission must meet one of the three categories outlined below.

2) Type of videos and categories for submission:

– Stories can be narrated in all genres: fiction, nonfiction or documentary, experimental videos, and animation.
– Films must demonstrate how change is being made or can possibly be made, showcasing the stories of those who are taking action to change realities, hearts and minds, for a more equal world.
– The competition categories mirror the themes of the Action Coalitions, which are the outcomes of the Generation Equality Forum. For the first part of the Film Festival, which will take place in Mexico, we are welcoming works on the following categories:
Category 1 – Feminist movements and leadership: Feminist Movements and Leadership promotes the resourcing, investing, strengthening, and enabling of feminist leadership, women’s rights, and feminist movements in their diversity, to scale and sustain collective action for gender equality, social justice, and human rights. It accelerates transformative feminist leadership that is inclusive in all aspects of decision-making, creates spaces for new, emerging feminist movements, and enables young feminists as drivers of inclusive change.
Category 2- Economic Justice and Rights: Economic justice and rights refers to how economic and political systems are designed, how their benefits or costs are distributed, and how institutions are held accountable for the economic outcomes they generate. This theme encompasses the full spectrum of paid and unpaid labor, including informal labor, and encompasses sub-themes such as time poverty, social protection, financial inclusion, and wage inequity.

Category 3- Women, Peace and Security and Humanitarian Action: Women’s participation is vital for effective efforts towards prevention, crisis response, recovery, conflict resolution and sustainable peace. Commitments on protecting women’s rights and making women’s participation in peace, security and humanitarian action meaningful and sustained remain unfulfilled. As the world continues to be mired in conflict and humanitarian needs caused by violence, climate change, natural disasters and pandemics, among others, there is urgency for transformative action to ensure full implementation of the women, peace and security agenda and humanitarian action commitments.

– Filmmakers must choose one category from the three listed above.

3) Technical requirements:
– Videos submitted must be a final, edited product; sound-mixed, color-graded and optimized for online streaming. Rough cuts are not accepted.

– Films can be submitted in any language. However, all non-English dialogue must include English subtitles, and all titles and/or motion graphics must also be in English, or have an English translation on-screen, at the time of submission.
– A transcript of the dialogue in English must accompany the project. Transcripts will be used by the Festival for captioning in other languages in case the film is shortlisted. The Festival will be responsible for translating into other languages.
– Submissions must be send in full HD

4) Awards and selection process:
– Each of the three categories will have a cash prize of 1,000 USD. The prizes are non-transferrable.
– A jury composed of members of the film and storytelling industries as well as the feminist movement will review a short list of 9 films and select three winners.
– The decisions of the jury are final and binding. Criteria’s assessed are: relevance to the theme; technique; composition.
– Winners will be informed confidentially late March, prior to a public announcement and before the Generation Equality Forum in Mexico (29-31 March).
