This film series will be produced in 4 local languages: Kiswahili, Rutooro, French and English. Pre production started 1st of January 2012. Delivery date October 2012. Footage required: MOUNTAIN GORILLA -footage of group of mountain gorillas; 'hanging out '. Group dynamics as human as possible (we want to show the similarities between them and man). Close up of hands, faces, feet, Gorilla babies chasing each other, nurturing babies on the breast, eating together, mating, grooming each other, comforting each other, fighting, sleeping, climbing in trees. All human behaviour in a forest setting (the story is that they live next to a village in an encroached forest up a mountain). CROSS RIVER GORILLA & BONOBO -footage of crossriver and bonobos . We will need to show the cross river gorilla's and bonobo's once or twice in the films, they wont be our main Great Apes in the 3 films (these will be chimps and mountain gorillas) so we don't need much footage of them. Just some general wildlife shots. In their natural setting (by the river, forest etc- acting relaxed and as 'human' as possible) PROGRAM DESCRIPTION This program is a coalition of three well-established Uganda-based organizations and the Dutch NGO Nature for Kids to educate children and rural communities about the threats to great apes in Uganda and in 16 other Great ape African countries in a new and innovative way. Nature for Kids will develop and distribute a series of ape-focused conservation films and a range of supporting educational materials and programs that are designed to be accessible to local people and which are sensitive to cultural beliefs and traditions. By targeting children, our project seeks to shape life-long attitudes towards these unique animals. By fostering positive attitudes towards apes and ape conservation we will help to ensure the long term survival of these critically endangered species. The great ape conservation videos and complimenting (master) resource materials we will produce are designed for use across Africa. These videos will be distributed to over 20 other ape conservation organizations working across the continent and beyond. Our project will serve as a model for the implementation of innovative outreach programs which complement and enhance the videos. Nature for Kids (NfK), has developed an innovative model for creating conservation programs, incorporating interactive films for the youngest generation that are produced in rural African communities, featuring local children and stakeholders as actors, covering topics that are relevant for rural people, and are presented in appropriate local languages. Nature for Kids has demonstrated the effectiveness of such films in conveying conservation messages in multiple countries in Africa. We will produce a new set of Great Ape-focused films in Uganda highlighting key conservation issues and solutions that can be implemented at the local level. These films will be the backbone of this conservation education initiative that will also include a broad range of student and teacher educational materials in as well as related education and outreach activities in rural African communities. The film series is called GREAT APE SUPERHEROES Film Topics covered will include Our website: www.natureforkids.nl.
