On the occasion of the 60th anniversary of India’s independence, Creative Commons India is organizing a short film contest, on “Better governance through Right To Information”.
We at Creative Commons [CC], India feel that the effective use of the Right to Information is really critical for creating better governance models across the length and breadth of our country. The CC movement and the RTI campaign commonly believe that information made available either through disclosure or through liberal copyright licensing is a great public asset. Such ease of access can play a decisive role in creating more transparency, accountability and hopefully more citizen participation in daily governance.
Creative Commons [CC], India [creativecommons.org & cc-india.org] seeks to provide a decisively more flexible approach to copyrighting. It believes in empowering the user by voluntarily waving away some of its copyrights.
The plan: Contestants will be invited to make a short film up to 5 minutes in length in Hindi or English based on the dramatization of a true story on -- ‘Better governance through Right To Information’. The top 5 films will be given exciting awards and chosen for viewing at Avenues at a special prize distribution ceremony.
Dates:
August 30: Registration for contest starts
October 14: Closing of registration
October 25: Declaration of results on sites
October 27/28: Prize distribution ceremony during Avenues, IIT Bombay.
