UNESCO initiated Audiovisual E-Platform, a multicultural online catalogue, has now been operationalized and is now open to all professional independent producers and broadcasters.
This online audiovisual platform aims at promoting the international distribution of television content from South to North and from South to South. While providing independent filmmakers and producers with an effective promotional and marketing tool, it offers a rich programme source to broadcasters, festival organizers and other interested institutions.
The platform consists of high quality and recent short fiction films, documentaries and TV magazines that are public service oriented, innovative, challenging, going beyond conventional forms of television language, as well as a genuine expression of different cultures in the world.
Membership and productions have been growing steadily. The Audiovisual E-Platform now compiles over 650 productions from more than 85 countries and has close to 7,000 registered users.
The UNESCO AV E-Platform is a project started by UNESCO in 2004, with the overall aim to foster international exchange of creative audiovisual content, particularly relating to development issues, and to promote AV production as a tool for cultural expression and intercultural dialogue.
The Platform also facilitates business to business exchanges among professionals in the audiovisual field. If you are an independent producer of content, a broadcaster, director, producer or film festival organizer, you will find this Audiovisual E-Platform useful.
The project is executed through a partnership of the Government of Spain and the UNESCO Association of Igualada. More information at this link.
