About

Students from the Leicester Media School are invited to participate in the third international #SDGfilmfest hosted online by the London School of Public relations, Jakarta.

This exciting opportunity will include a filmmaking workshop, a conference on the UN Sustainable Development Goals and the media, and a screening of selected works followed by an awards ceremony.

Students are not expected to deliver a paper at the conference, though postgraduate students working in this field are encouraged to submit a paper as well as attending as delegates.

It is anticipated that papers will be presented by academics from a range of institutions across South East Asia and the UK. Students from institutions in the UK, Cambodia, Indonesia and Malaysia are expected to submit relevant documentary films, shorts, and PR campaigns that examine the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals by 10th of December. This work will be exhibited online and entered into the film festival to compete for cash prizes.

This event will focus on the principals of digital marketing across various cultures; starting a Digital Marketing focused career; sector differences between the East & West; and the impact of COVID-19.
