International Secretariat for Water (ISW), Montreal, Canada and the French Water Academy, based in Paris, in partnership

Water and Life: II Development Film Festival. Dhan Foundation, Madurai, Inde - 2006-10-28
Although the world’s water related problems are growing increasingly devastating and need to be addressed urgently, it is recognized that they cannot be solved by the action of Governments alone. It will also require the education, mobilization and involvement of all sections of the society. NGOs often bridge the gap between policies, plans and practices of Governments with the reality of implementation at the grassroots, amongst the communities which are most impacted.
The dialogue organised with this objective on 28th September 2006 at Gandhi Smarag Nidhi Hall at Gandhi Museum, Madurai. The dialogue focused on how to develop that collaborative efforts so as to elevate water related issues to a high priority, promote actual achievements and successes, reaching out and providing accurate, accessible and useful information, and being an effective representative of the community on water related issues.

From Mexico City to Istanbul… via Stockholm - 2006-08-23
This first International “Water and Film” Event confirms the existence of a water movie culture, rich and diversified, with the potential to influence the practices in water management. This fact and the many positive comments we received have swayed the French Water Academy, the CONAGUA and the International Secretariat for Water towards organizing a presentation of the results of the First International « Water and Film» Event for the Stockholm World Water Week, where we launched a DVD with all the films awarded and gathered ideas and suggestions to help us organize the second event at the 5th World Water Forum in 2009, in Istanbul.
