Haven't you shoot your film yet? Not quite sure about what to shoot? Need a little push on a creative level? In this post we detail the scope of this year Festival's theme. We hope we may inspire you.

The theme of the contest is related to the water access problem and sanitation in the world, as well as their relation to hygiene, pollution, agriculture, diseases, food, education, etc. Specifically, you may portrait any of the following action areas of the We Are Water Foundation and their related problems:

• Access to water
  - In the semi-desert, access to water means life to refugees and the displaced.
  - More than 850 million people have insufficient access to drinking water. The average water use ranges from200-300 litresa person a day in most countries in Europe to less than10 litresin the developing countries.
  - The average distance walked by women in Africa and Asia to fetch water is 6 kilometres. They are often accompanied by their daughters, who therefore miss the chance to go to school and receive an education.
  - Inhabitants in the slums of Jakarta, Manila and Nairobi pay 5 to 10 times more for their water than those living in London or New York.
  - In Manila, the cost of a connection to the water mains represents about three months' income for the poorest 20% of households, rising to six months in urban Kenya.

• Health
  - In many countries, a large proportion of the population take their water from canals and ditches, often polluted.
  - 2 million people die each year due to illnesses caused by the improper use of water
  - Around 4,000 children under five die every day due to a lack of drinking water or proper sanitation.

• Education
  - Millions of people don't know that washing their hands with soap and water could save their lives, or that their day-to-day activities pollute the water they will later be drinking.
  - There is no sustainable development without education.

• Food security
  - Drylands occupy around half the planet's total land area and are home to one third of the world's population.
  - The challenge of putting an end to hunger involves improving irrigation techniques and, above all, empowering farmers and achieving ecosystem sustainability.
  - Combatting rural poverty also stems migration to the shantytowns of large cities.

• Improved sanitation
  - More than 1.2 billion people have to defecate in the open air; it is not possible to have a decent living without toilets or clean and hygienic latrines.
  - Almost 2.5 billion people have no access to basic sanitation facilities, crucial to prevent diseases by defecation pollution.
