The Filmmakers Toolkit

In 2019 nearly 150 films were submitted to the 16 Days 16 Films competition, delivered in partnership with Modern Films, the Kering Group and Chayn.

Following the UN’s annual campaign, 16 Days of Activism, these films, created by female filmmakers, highlight gender based violence in the United Kingdom and abroad.

But how can filmmakers use their films to further promote the cause of  gender based violence, specifically domestic abuse and sexual violence? This toolkit offers options and suggestions to guide all those who have made submissions to learn how their work can be viable in the wider campaign space.
