Contexte

Earthrise and Bupa, with sustainability partner BAFTA Albert and SXSW London, are launching the Planet Health Film Fund, supporting five filmmakers to create original short documentaries exploring the deep, often personal connections between human health and the health of our environment. The fund will award five filmmakers £20,000 each to create a 10-minute documentary alongside accompanying social content. They are looking for authored stories that explore what keeps us healthy and connected to nature in a rapidly changing and increasingly urbanised world.

Missions et responsabilités

Conditions et avantages
