Launched in Mexico in March 2006 during the 4th World Water Forum, the International “Water and Film” Events are a joint initiative of the International Secretariat for Water (ISW) and the French Water Academy.

This international event is to take place every three years during the World Water Forums. The event aims at:

• Enriching the World Water Forum programme
• Informing the public and raising awareness about the challenges in water resource management
• Promoting audiovisual material on the theme of water
• Building up the image banks available on this topic

The next International “Water and Film” Events will be held from 18 to 21 March 2009 in Istanbul, during the 5th World Water Forum, with the overall theme of “Water, People and Sustainable Development”. Around one hundred films and clips selected over a two-year period will be screened.

 

Participants in the 5th World Water Forum will be able to attend the screenings and debates held with the directors in the Citizens’ House for Water and its “Fountains of Knowledge” area. The Citizens’ House for Water and this presentation area will be located at the site of Water Forum itself.
