Short films contest on corruption launched in Brazil

The United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) in Brazil is accepting short-films on corruption to a contest. Deadlines: October 16 for short movies (5 to 10 minutes) and October 30 for one-minute movies.

Under the theme "Fight against corruption: a commitment of all," the contest aims to promote reflections on the importance of active citizenship in monitoring and controlling public power. Works should be unpublished and addressed to the general public. Entries can be fiction, animation, documentary, and more.

The One-Minute Movies category will award up to 20 videos that last no more than 60 seconds (in any media platform). The Short Movie category will select two projects.

Winners will also receive airfare and accommodation to attend a ceremony to celebrate the International Day Against Corruption, on December 9 in Brasilia, Brazil.
