As a global pandemic wreaked havoc on the world, eight young filmmakers came together to create films that inspire, empower and enlighten. In this collaboration between Wicked Wales and International Youth Media Summit the aim was to bring together filmmakers from Wales, India, Sri Lanka and Nepal to collaborate and support each other in the making of seven films that somehow embodied their vision of their countries.
The films all convey how rich these countries are in culture, language and heritage and the filmmakers have done a beautiful job of showing how unique and special each of their countries are. However, they have also done a beautiful job of showing how, despite our differences, we share so many more similarities. These films are a beautiful homage to the diversity of people and cultures and at the same time the commonality of the human experience.
This project was made possible with financial support from Wales Arts International and Wicked Wales Film funds. The “SANATIONE” project was made possible with financial support from UNESCO.
