Founded in 1972, Ottawa's World Interaction / Interaction Mondiale (WIAM) is a "volunteer-based, charitable organization working to create awareness on world issues." Each year WIAM hosts its 'One World Film Festival' in Ottawa. This festival is described as "an annual media-arts Festival based in Canada’s National Capital Region. The Festival is committed to presenting innovative forms of film and video as a medium for raising public awareness of world issues.It is both a celebration of documentary film and a powerful forum for filmmakers, activists, the public, and social justice, human rights and environmental organizations to engage in issues currently facing our global community." This year the festival will be held at the National Archives / National Library of Canada on Wellington street, downtown Ottawa.
Read the One World Film Festival guide to see what films will be screened, when and where.
A fantastic opportunity exists to view a film and critically review it for a CPW 4U blog entry.
Looking forward to reading what you have to write!
