Participant areaAbout
The We Art Water Film Festival is an international short-film competition organised by the We Are Water Foundation, which aims to recognize and reward the talent of all those people with a clear awareness of the water problem around the world which are also able to capture it in their own film productions.
The main objective is to raise awareness of the water problem around the world through the creation of audio visual pieces that address this issue.
Theme of the Sixth EditionWater and sanitation in the climate crisis, architecture and urbanism
The We Art Water Film Festival combines cinema and social awareness to spotlight one of the most pressing issues of our time: the global crisis in access to water and sanitation. This crisis, exacerbated by climate change, directly impacts hygiene, pollution, agriculture, health, nutrition, and education for millions of people worldwide.
In this edition, we broaden our perspective to include architecture and urban planning, emphasising their essential role in sustainable water management within urban environments. How can we design our cities to ensure that water flows safely and respectfully through them? What are the challenges of supply and sanitation?
