Chicken & Egg Pictures Mother Wit Human Rights Fund Open Call

Chicken & Egg Pictures is looking for more talented and amazing women filmmakers. They are writing to you on behalf of their MOTHER WIT HUMAN RIGHTS FUND open call. The deadline for entries is rapidly approaching on September 30th, 2011!

In this open call, Chicken & Egg Pictures is trying to reach beyond their networks, and expand their applicant pool with their MOTHER WIT HUMAN RIGHTS FUND. This mission-driven fund was created to support the human rights movement in the most compelling way Chicken & Egg can be helpful with — a story-driven documentary.  

THE MOTHER WIT HUMAN RIGHTS FUND is dedicated to supporting women filmmakers and courageous human rights activists — be they men, women or youth — who together from both sides of the camera take on critical human rights struggles in the global south and the U.S. These films are meant to inspire, enrage and catalyze the collective belief and will needed to ensure civil rights, reproductive health rights, environmental, racial and economic justice, education and literacy for all — and especially women and girls. The films must lead with a story and help expand and extend the definition of human rights to mean all the basic rights needed to THRIVE — live, work, play, eat, learn and love — in peace.
