1. To promote film production as means of creating “educational” tools to share knowledge and experiences in order to achieve access for all to safe water, sanitation and water for production.

2. To use images to initiate dialogues among stakeholders on the implementation of solutions for cross-cutting, appropriate and fair management of water resources.

3. To use films as a means of expression for people, as citizens, as water users and as consumers, to pass messages to elected representatives, water managers and decision-makers.

4. To organise, with local and regional partners, contests in which the winners will go to the world final of the International “Water and Film” Events, which will take place in Marseille in March 2012, during the
6th World Water Forum.

Through these actions, the IWFE contribute to the more general objectives of the International Secretariat for Water (ISW), Solidarity Water Europe (SWE) and their partners by giving the floor to local water management stakeholders, to users and the general public. They promote the different cultural means of populations’ water management.
