FILM FESTIVAL TO COINCIDE WITH ICPD



Coinciding with ICPD in Cairo will be "FESTIVAL 94", a film and

television festival, and "Challenge to Change", a four-day

conference on the role of television and film in social change.

These events, open to members of government delegations, NGOs and

the public, are being organized by Kariko Productions Ltd., of

Vancouver Canada.



     FESTIVAL 94 will consist of film and television screenings in

several Cairo locations from 4-13 September 1994. Organizers are

currently searching for films and television programmes in the

following categories: women and the role of women within the

broader issues of population; women's reproductive rights; women's

education; male-female gender issues; family health; sex education;

teenage mothers; ageing; the environment and issues of sustainable

resources; population growth as impacting on the environment;

migration, both internationally and locally; population

characteristics; and ongoing family patterns.



     A Programme Steering Committee has been assembled to preview

and select appropriate works -- feature films, documentaries,

shorts, movies of the week and serial dramas.
