Films From the Global Edge
From human rights to global warming, the Media that Matters festival ‘Films from the Global Edge’ represents the work of a diverse group of independent film-makers, many of whom are under 21. The films are equally diverse in style and content, with documentaries, music videos, animations, experimental work and everything else in between. What all the films have in common is that they spark debate and action in 12 minutes or less. They tackle a broad range of social issues with humor, humanity, and honesty.
Every Media that Matters event is unique. The combination of films, inspirational speakers, and games and prizes has impacted hundreds of adults and young people alike, and no-one walks away quite the same afterwards.
And quotes from young people:
“Moving and inspiring!”
“Awesome movies, great ideas, and wonderful to see people taking action”
“Amazing films and amazing people!”
“Loved the aspiration & determination of those involved”
“It was great to see young people empowering themselves!”
“Like Hollywood, with the facts kept in!”
