How A Video App Can Save Imprisoned Filmmakers
January 28, 2011 2 Comments
White Meadows, dir: Mohammad Rasoulof / ed. Jafar Panahi/
The app, named for the film directed by Rasoulof and edited by Panahi, is meant as a tool of direct action and free speech: you can record a statement calling for Panahi and Rasoulof’s release, share a comment on human rights in Iran or globally, or share your experience.
The app offers a black screen and voice distortion to protect anyone who might be in danger while exercising their free speech rights.
White Meadows was conceived by Cine Foundation International, a nonprofit film company and human rights NGO founded in December 2010. In addition to the video campaign, CFI will launch a series of six commissioned feature-length films and 20 short films about human rights in support of Panahi and Rasoulof.
