  • 1 GEORGE MASON UNIVERSITY VISITING FILM SERIES April 29
    GEORGE MASON UNIVERSITY VISITING FILM SERIES April 29, 2020 I am pleased to be here to talk about my role as Deputy Director of the Washington, DC International Film Festival, more popularly known as Filmfest DC, and as Director of the Arabian Sights Film Festival. I would like to start with a couple of statistics: We all know that Hollywood films dominate the world’s movie theaters, but there are thousands of other movies made around the globe that most of us are totally unaware of or marginally familiar with. India is the largest film producing nation in the world, whose films we label “Bollywood”. India produces around 1,500 to 2,000 films every year in more than 20 languages. Their primary audience is the poor who want to escape into this imaginary world of pretty people, music and dancing. Amitabh Bachchan is widely regarded as the most famous actor in the world, and one of the greatest and most influential actors in world cinema as well as Indian cinema. He has starred in at least 190 movies. He is a producer, television host, and former politician. He is also the host of India’s Who Wants to Be a Millionaire. Nigeria is the next largest film producing country and is also known as “Nollywood”, producing almost 1000 films per year. That’s almost 20 films per week. The average Nollywood movie is produced in a span of 7-10 days on a budget of less than $20,000. Next comes Hollywood. Last year, 786 films were released in U.S.

We are both excited and proud to present our third edition of this unique and propitious industry platform. MAFF Market Forum was launched with the ambition to bring the two worlds together, intertwining them with a tailored program created to build partnerships in an intimate environment. We bring together producers, funders, distributors and lm professionals in order to foster a cultural exchange and expand the production landscape. MAFF Market Forum was sprung out of the same ambition as the festival itself; to promote the Arab lm industry, create a gender and cultural diversity in the lm industry, and of course - to ensure all stories get a chance to be heard and seen. Even before the implementation of the rst edition of MAFF Market Forum, we realized that the initiative would have a major impact. Said and done - today, after only two years, several Nordic-Arabic lm collaborations have been implemented and initiated through our platform. And when we say our platform, we include an incredibly important part of the success; the participants. We are beyond thrilled to every year welcome lm professionals from all over the world. is year is no exception, and some of the most signicant and inuential institutes and organizations from both the Nordic countries and the Arab world are attending.

  • BEYOND INCLUSION the Critical Role of People of Color in the U.S
    BEYOND INCLUSION The Critical Role of People of Color in the U.S. Documentary Ecosystem Sahar Driver, PhD PUBLISHED BY THE FORD FOUNDATION, SEPTEMBER 2020 Dear Colleagues, Thank you for taking the time to read this report and deep appreciation to Sahar Driver for her fantastic research and analysis. This report was commissioned in late 2019 to inform JustFilms’ grantmaking strategies that support US POC-led and serving organizations as new centers of gravity and influence in the field. This work is grounded in Ford’s Creativity and Free Expression division and is at the core of our work as a social justice documentary funder - to support the cultural power and voice of marginalized communities as building blocks for greater social, economic and political power. As we begin to share this report in the fall of 2020, the reality we operate in has changed. The COVID pandemic and police killing of George Floyd have brought even sharper focus to the systemic inequalities which ravage Black, Brown and disabled communities and have made them even more vulnerable to economic recession. Economic rules that favor the wealthy, unequal access to government, persistent prejudice and discrimination, entrenched cultural narratives and a weakened public sector have worked in tandem to create a deeply divided society. For more than sixty years Ford Foundation has made significant investments in film and documentary to address these drivers of inequality. Shifting culture and narrative is foundational to broader change. Our work has included creating and strengthening the public media infrastructure, supporting media arts centers, public television labs and film institutes, funding documentary content for the public good and strengthening a global network of documentary practitioners.
