TI - The Pacific Community Filmmaking Consortium – Doing Impact and Engagement during a global pandemic
AB - The presentation will discuss initial reflections on a UKRI funded impact and engagement project in the Pacific, aimed at addressing community based and participatory media production as a development methodology to tackle gender inequality and specifically gender based violence in the Pacific. The project seeks to build capacity amongst a network of Pacific community based filmmakers and organisations whose work with communities addresses gender inequality in vernacular terms and with local participation and frames of reference. In this presentation, members of the project team will share initial thoughts on the project’s progress, how it adapted to the global covid-19 pandemic, adapting and incorporating the restrictions into the films and distribution. The project, as the Pacific Community Filmmaking Consortium, commissioned and produced 8 films by Pacific filmmakers on gender based violence, gender inequality and Pacific responses to the covid pandemic from filmmakers and filmmaking teams in Papua New Guinea, Bougainville, The Solomon Islands, Tuvalu, Samoa, Tonga and Fiji. It also included non-commissioned pre-existing work from Vanuatu.
