Deadline for submission is March 16, 2009.

The National Film Board’s new media project, "Work For All / La tête de l'emploi" is looking for inventive, original proposals for short films (5‐15 min) with the theme of racism in the workplace.

The goal of "Work For All / La tête de l'emploi" is to inform the public, employers and employees of the obstacles that visible minorities and Aboriginal people face in their careers, as well as strategies to create success and eliminate barriers.

Made in collaboration with Human Resources Social Development Canada, "Work For All / La tête de l'emploi" aims to be a powerful tool for education and positive social change.

We are looking for strong, contemporary stories that demonstrate the reality of our workplaces today, from experienced creative teams that will deliver compelling, unique and artful short films.

Download the PDF for full details.
