BACKGROUND
We are Libyans is a collaborative project Between Moomken org & Hexa Connections to create a virtual platform that promote national unity through films and movies.
The social media platform worked on presenting what brings us together as Libyans through our heritage, history and love to our country through a variety of media materials from digital posters to videos and short films in order to make a positive impact on the Libyan context.
The main goal of “We Are Libyans” is to support filmmakers and videographers in Libya. It ran a contest titled “Libya in My Eyes”, inviting short videos that portray the country’s beauty. The 20 best entries were followed by a ten-day filmmaking training with the Libyan director Abd Alrahman Geet, which gave the winners a full cinematic experience through a variety of workshops and sessions. This prepared them for the final stage of the project: producing a video on the theme of Libyan unity.
