Our water.....Middle east!

This is the latest work I did for NBV. (www.nbv.se)
During a couple of weeks I went down to Israel, Palestine and Jordan to shoot the video material for a study course/exhibition on the water situation in the world. The DVD with the video clips is part of an on going exhibition in Sweden.
This was a collaboration between Friends of the Earth Middle East and NBV, Sweden.

DIGITAL STORYTELLING MEDIA CENTER, Sri Lank

I'm currently in Colombo, Sri Lanka.
I will be staying here for one month to start a Media-center together with ADIC. We have made 10 Digital Stories on Gender Equality- Inequality. I'm travelling up north to a school in the mountain, to give a workshop where we will make 10 more short films.

MADE BY SUBKIDS

DOCUMENTARIES MADE BY YOUTHs IN THE SUBURBS.

"Made by SUBKIDS Pictures"

Ostberga Ghetto:
One weekend I had the opportunity to work together with some wonderful youth's in a suburb. They wanted to make a cool shortfilm about the ghettolife in Stockholm. They brought some guns (toys) and some marijuana (also fake) for making the film more realistic. But real life was more frightening than they had expected. They cops came and harassed them,searching for the real stuff. Of course they where upset and a bit shocked, but they reacted like this was so obvious. Like the society didn't expect more from them than to be carrying guns and smokes. In the end the result was an excellent film about the environment they don't want in the future.
They want a safe place to live in, a place where cultural activities and sports is part of their everyday life. They are now showing their film for the politician's. Watch out!














The Debate:
The other wonderful youth group, was the girls which had a lot of questions about gender rolls. So they gathered the boys in the youthcenter and held a debate. Why does guys think it's ok to insult girls by calling them "whores"? How would you feel if someone was calling you that? And what is the difference between girl-talk and guy-talk? Some guys felt that they also where insulted when girls called them "players" and that it was the same as calling them "whores". They debate was intense and moved in different directions.
It was like they had never met before and wanted to explore the differences between them!
