Application Deadline: September 22, 2024
Applications are open for the Global Feminist Pitch 2024. The Global Feminist Pitch supports young feminists from countries of the Global South with the aim to make solidarities between feminists and feminist movements worldwide visible through different formats. In 2024-2025, the Global Feminist Pitch will give five feminists from Latin America, the Caribbean, Africa, Asia, Middle East or (South) Eastern Europe the chance to document feminist protest culture from their region in the form of a 15-minute documentary film that will be produced by Deblokada Production from Sarajevo (Bosnia and Herzegovina) and become part of a film omnibus/anthology film.
In this process, they will be supported by the Global Unit for Feminism and Gender Democracy, Deblokada Production, and experts from the industry through workshops, consultations, and feedback sessions. The finished documentary film will have a premiere at the end of 2025/beginning of 2026. The documentary film will depict the power of feminist protest culture, contribute to the global debate on feminist movements, complement the existing discourse, and provide feminists, activists, and organisations with insights on how feminism is lived in different regions of the world.
