Describe your background in community and/or social action causes.

LifeMosaic is a small organisation that develops films for empowerment for and in partnership with communities and indigenous peoples. We focus on the development of audio-visual materials for dissemination to communities in large-scale climate-related land allocation areas, including REDD project areas in Indonesia.

What current issues are of interest?

We have been focussing for the mere part on films for empowerment – an approach of popular education. However at the moment we are very much interested in other approaches to complete or improve our film-making for our cause. Workshops of particular interest are ‘approaches to environmental media making’, the one by engagemedia and that of Nia Dinata, ‘screenwriting for social change’ the fundraising workshop. The current issue of interest is thus to broaden our ideas by learning ideas, tools and strategies from others, while sharing our own.
