Envision: Addressing Global Issues Through Documentaries
Saturday, July 10, 2010, The TimesCenter, 242 West 41st Street
For the second year IFP is collaborating with the United Nation’s Department of Public Information to present ENVISION – a forum uniting the filmmaking community, civil society organizations, activists, journalists, public policy makers, NGOs, and the general public in the shared goal of envisioning a better world for all and achieving impact through media. The UN’s Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) serve as the focal point for screenings, social networking, and panel discussions, with the Spotlight Focus in 2010 being the goal of universal education. Screenings of Jennifer Arnold’s A Small Act (HBO Documentaries) and Davis Guggenheim’s Waiting for Superman (Paramount Vantage) will be accompanied by discussions on challenges to achieving education globally – and specifically in Africa, the impact of individual action and philanthropy, and current issues around the U.S. education crisis.
Tickets: $35/$25 for IFP Members with the code "ENVMEM"
