International "Water and Film" Event

 

The second edition of the International "Water and Film" Event (IWFE) provides the opportunity for a meeting of water specialists, filmmakers, communicators, teachers, researchers and the general public. Organized by the International Water Secretariat and the French Académie de l'Eau, IWFE promotes inter alia collaboration through audiovisuals to foster exchange, the sharing of knowledge and studies of water-related problems. In 2009, IWFE takes place in the framework of the 5th World Water Forum, to be held from 16-22 March in Istanbul. The goal of IWFE is to encourage the production of educational and scientific films to sensitize and educate the general public. Moreover it provides an opportunity for filmmakers to participate in an international contest specialized in the films about water. IWFE is also a contribution to the water education component of the UN Decade of Education for Sustainable Development, led by UNESCO
