Samvad Video Unit
Samvad Video Unit has 8
community producers, representing four major slums clusters of Ahmedabad.
They have been trained in all aspects of film making to promote awareness
and advocacy through a monthly video magazine.
The
CVU provides a platform to slum residents to voice their opinions, raise
issues or problems and allow free discussion to promote change in their
communities.
The
films produced are then screened to the local public through wide screen
projectors and the distribution of VCD/DVDs in self-help groups and NGO
networks.
7
video magazines have been screened so far with an average of about 6000-7000 persons viewing every
film which amounts to more than 50,000
persons during the last one year.
The CVU-URC tie-up
One
of the important objectives of the URC is to do advocacy of issues
concerning the community. The CVU would act as an advocacy tools to show
the issues of community through video screening. The CVU would spread
awareness on different issues that the URC advocates. While the URC will
act as a link between different sectors, the CVU will be the medium of
linkage with different sectors. Both the CVU and the URC works for the
community through the community.
