2010 Film Festival Expands Scope to Include 2010 UN International Year Themes
We have started planning this year’s We The Peoples Film Festival, to be supported again by UNA Westminster Branch UNA which initiated the festival in 2006. We will continue the themes of the 2009 festival: freedom from want, freedom from fear, and freedom to live in dignity; and, we will add the International Year themes to be marked by the United Nations in 2010: Biodiversity and Rapprochement of Cultures.
Elizabeth (Libby) Gordon will be the Coordinator for We the Peoples Film Festival 2010, taking over from Vivienne Eka who coordinated the 2009 festival so successfully. Libby and Vivienne have been central to the success of the festival since 2007 and both look forward to working again with the enthusiastic We the Peoples team that has come together over these years. We anticipate working with more venues and if you or your organisation wish to participate in or support We the Peoples 2010, please contact us at info@wethepeoples.org.uk. You will be made very welcome!.
