 ARTIVIST 2010
Out of Sight, Out of Mind PG (short film), directed by Yoni Bentovim
Narrated by Juliet Stevenson, Out of Sight Out of Mind is a 24 min documentary following three mothers as they struggle to provide a normal life for their children against the shocking reality of how we treat asylum seekers in the UK.
Children of War 12A (documentary film), directed by Brian Single
Set in the east African country of Uganda, Children of War, directed by Bryan Single, is a film that chronicles the daily struggle towards rehabilitation and reconciliation by a group of recently escaped child soldiers of the Lord's Resistance Army, one of the world's longest running and most brutal militias. To add perspective to the stories of these children, the film also follows the chief priest of the Lord's Resistance Army, as well as recipients of the Army's professed miracles and victims of its atrocities. Together these individuals will illuminate the pitfalls, challenges and triumphs of a war-sick society desperately attempting to transition from violence to peace.
Artivist is the first international film festival dedicated to addressing human rights, children's advocacy, environmental preservation, and animal advocacy. Filmmakers from around the world unite at the annual festival to address the importance of art and advocacy in our global community. Our mission is to strengthen the voice of advocate artists " 'Artivists' " while raising public awareness of social global causes.
Since its inception in 2004, Artivist has showcased over 300 films representing more than 45 countries, reached over 20m people with its PR campaign and been endorsed by organisations such as Amnesty International, Global Green, HSUS, Prevent Child Abuse America and the United Nations. Films premiered at the festival have included Oscar-winner Born into Brothels, Oscar-nominee Super-Size Me, Fast Food Nation, Emmanuel's Gift, and Trudell. This year, Artivist proudly welcomes back for the third time Petrobras as its official community partner.
