African Action on AIDS/New York AIDS Film Festival - Call for submissions

The aim of the festival is to showcase work that educates and awakens people to the reality of the HIV/AIDS virus. Entries of short films, documentaries and features are being invited.

30% of festival proceeds go to the running of the festival, 70% go to African Action on AIDS, an organization which sends AIDS orphans to school by providing scholarships.

African Action on AIDS (AAA) is based on the belief that those who die should
die in peace, fully aware that they are leaving behind a caring world. Forming a chain of love, they strive to destroy the HIV/AIDS stigma. They support people with HIV/AIDS in their personal struggle and encourage them to face the future positively.

"A hundred years from now it will not matter what my bank was, the sort of house I lived in or the kind of car I drove.. but the world may be different because I was important in the life of a child." (Author Unknown)
