People-to-People Connections through Film Arts Programs: The U.S. Embassy Islamabad Public Affairs Section (PAS) announces an Open Source RFP and invites organizations to submit a proposal supporting people-to-people activities between the people of the United States and Pakistan, specifically in the area of filmmaking and capacity building within the film industry. These activities should expand people-to-people relationships between non-officials (e.g. academic scholars and filmmakers), strengthen peaceful regional relationships, and increase mutual understanding between the people of the United States and the people of Pakistan. Film has the power to transform lives, communities, and societies, and create a more just, humane, and sustainable future. Program goals: 1. Strengthen People-to-People Ties between the U.S. and Pakistan: Increase mutual understanding between U.S. and Pakistani film professionals. 2. Create Institutional Linkages Between the U.S. and Pakistani Film Industries: Encourage the local filmmaking industry to build long-term, self-sustaining relationships between U.S. and Pakistani filmmaking institutions, existing or new film festivals, and film schools. 3. Expand Filmmaking Capacity: Provide Pakistani filmmakers with training on professional standards in filmmaking, with venues to exhibit their work and opportunities to engage in substantive dialogue with film industry professionals. 4. Strengthen Regional Cooperation between Afghanistan, Pakistan and India: Increase mutual understanding on a regional level by including Indian and Afghan filmmakers in film capacity-building projects. 5. Encouraging Accurate Messaging: Build local filmmaker capacity to generate narratives that confront ideological support for terrorism, through projects that develop credible local broadcast content and present accurate information on U.S.-Pakistan cooperation.
