| Video Documentaries |
| Towards Participatory Video |
| Video, in its various
forms, has emerged as one of the powerful tools in the area of
development communication, be it documenting projects and processes,
creating awareness, issue-based campaigns, education and
facilitation, promotion and publicity, and participatory video. Till
date, media matters has produced a wide range of films – partnering
with different organizations, on various issues, using different
formats, and developing its skills and competencies in every area of
video making – from concept, script, direction to editing, and
dissemination.
media matters continue to work as a resource organization, taking up assignments or projects to make videos for NGOs, donors and other organizations. It will also try to provide related support – editing studio, training, etc. We will focus on two specific genres of video for development: (a) issue-based documentaries and (b) participatory video. Wherever provided the scope and opportunity, both can be integrated in the video making process media matters has made documentaries and docu-fiction on a range of issues to document learnings of community processes and to bring issues to the fore. Our documentaries have focussed on capturing voices from the community in an effort to place the debate and contradictions within the film. Thereby providing an opportunity for the viewer to reflect, think and draw their own learning through post screening discussions and dialogue. We focus on two specific genres of video for development: (a) issue-based documentaries and (b) participatory video. We have made following documentaries – The Other Childhood, Stop Child Labour, Mulanna Kai Kadta!, Aamchi Balpanchayat, Kaanch Ke Bartan, PNDT on issues related to children and child rights; Refuse to Let Lie and Palvi about watsan, cleanliness, solid waste management; Mulichya Jatila He Shobhat Nahi about adolescent girls; VCTC Kade on HIV & AIDS and counseling. |
