CALL FOR
FILMS FOR SOCIAL CHANGE

Zoom in on a mode of living, give a voice to people’s struggles and triumphs.
Capture social-cultural norms or legal-regulatory barriers that prevent people working in the vocation of their choice.
Defend the basic human right of freedom to livelihood—their economic freedom!

“The best of the films make me angry-REALLY ANGRY with the elitism & arbitrariness of laws that seek to create some kind of “suitable” world, irrespective of its impact on lives & livelihood.”
~ Mohit Satyanand, 2005 Screening Committee Member

“What’s the democracy doing? It takes 90 days to setup a business in India. A small business is not even setting up a complex shop- it’s like somebody wants to be a rickshaw puller or someone wants to sell something on the road. A coolie’s badge is selling at a premium of 3 lacs nowadays…You keep seeing archaic laws where the demand is far outstripping the laws…I have this memorable phrase (which I rob from a speech) “Review, Revise and Remove”.
~ Rahul Bose speaking at the inaugural ceremony at Jeevika 2004
