Filming the Peace Process in Sri Lanka
Responding to the lack of dramatised work about the war and peace process in Sri Lanka, UNESCO is supporting the production of locally written, directed and produced short films in this country. (2003)
The objective is to strengthen creativity and to help so far undiscovered Tamil film-makers to get access to the mainstream TV and film industry.
UNESCO’s support is provided within the framework of larger development project “Reel Peace” that is being implemented by ScriptNet, a UK based training charity and production company, in collaboration with the Sri Lankan Media Training Institute and the University of Jaffna, with the support by the British Council and UK's Foreign and Commonwealth Office. Reel Peace’s aim is to foster an integrated Tamil and Singhalese media through the training of directors, producers and scriptwriters, increasing the technical capacity of the Sri Lankan TV and film industry.
Four short films were produced by the end of 2003. UNESCO and ScriptNet thenafter showcased the Sri Lankan talent to an international audience .
