Short Films Collection on HIV “POSITIVE LIFE”
UNESCO and AIBD have been setting up a vast young journalists network dedicated to HIV/AIDS matters. Over the years, UNESCO and AIBD have trained those journalists on HIV/AIDS coverage and TV production.
In order to step forward, UNESCO and AIBD have organized a regional workshop for co-production on HIV gathering 14 producers/journalists journalists who have already been trained and thus, improve the quality of their HIV related productions. In addition 2 HIV experts from UNAIDS and Red Cross Mongolia came in for providing fresh and accurate inputs on HIV & AIDS.
Organized in Beijing from 18 to 22 May 2010, all over the workshop conducted by Mr. Savyasaachi Jain, Media Consultant, participants have explored the followings:
- Critical understanding of approaches to reporting HIV through discussion and instruction.
- Learning – relating to both approaches to HIV reporting and to video production – through appraisal of programmes earlier produced by the participants.
- Instruction and discussion on methods and finer points of video production as detailed in the agenda for the regional workshop.
- Discussion and finalization of ideas for stories to be produced by the participants for the mini-series on HIV.
- Finalization of parameters and submission requirements for re-edited stories and fresh stories to be produced by the participants for the proposed films collection.
In the 3 months following the workshop, 8 participants produced one short film, which have been compiled as a films collection named “Positive Life”. The participating broadcasters have broadcast the films collection, especially on 1st December 2010 for the World HIV Day.
In addition a DVD has been created and promoted on UNESCO website as well.
