The Public Diplomacy Section (PDS) of the U. S. Embassy in Colombo announces an open competition to implement a program to build the capacities of young filmmakers – including women -- in Sri Lanka.
This program will build the skills, knowledge, and capacities of new voices and emerging
filmmakers in all areas of Sri Lanka, with an eye to supporting story telling around issues of gender, inclusion, and gender-based violence.
In addition to providing training and support for young filmmakers, the event will culminate in a film-sharing festival, most likely held in Colombo, Sri Lanka, to highlight the filmmakers and their messages.
