Cate Blanchett has announced the second cohort of filmmakers for the Displacement Film Fund, which includes Mo Amer, Annemarie Jacir, Akuol de Mabior, Bao Nguyen, and Rithy Panh. Each filmmaker will receive a production grant of €100,000 to create short films addressing the global refugee crisis. The completed projects are set to premiere at the International Film Festival Rotterdam in 2027.
- ▪The Displacement Film Fund was initiated at UNHCR’s Global Refugee Forum.
- ▪One in every 70 people on earth is forcibly displaced due to conflict, war, or persecution.
- ▪The filmmakers were selected through a two-step process involving a nominations committee and a selection committee.
