| Philosophie | MOFILM, the people-powered video content creation network, has commissioned three films from the UK, USA, and South Africa as part of ‘Many Voices’; a global initiative which saw over 100 filmmakers from 26 countries propose film ideas to answer the question ‘What does the year of women mean where you are?’ Led by in-house MOFILM ECDs Trak Ellis-Hill and Lee Margolis, these three commissioned films include: ‘Chin Up’ an animated documentary by UK-based Joanne Salmon, telling her personal story of finding self-acceptance living with Treacher Collins Syndrome, ‘New Tribe Rising’ a film by USA writer/director Patrick Mason,in which Native American Rene White tells us how life is being breathed back into forgotten tribal traditions and a lost heritage where men and women were equals and‘Hidden Queens’ by South African director Okuhle Dyosopu, which shines a light on an ‘invisible’ generation of women working as domestic workers - the backbone of South Africa. ‘Chin Up’ and ‘New Tribe Rising’ launch online today, ‘Hidden Queens’ will be live in September. |
