Deadline: 21 June, 2020
The Ladima Foundation in partnership with the DW Akademie has announced a short film contest for African women. Content creators and filmmakers entering the contest are to focus on life during the Covid-19 pandemic in their submissions.
The contest aims to encourage African women to share their real-life stories, from across the continent, as they face various degrees of lockdown that limit their movements, opportunities and, often, basic freedoms. The organisers argue that the pandemic has affected women more in terms of increasing cases of domestic violence and their burden of care.
