Female Condoms Are

In late 2012 PATH launched the “Female Condoms Are_______” Film Contest in partnership with the Universal Access to Female Condoms (UAFC) Joint Programme (http://condoms4all.org) the Center for Health and Gender Equity (CHANGE) (http://www.genderhealth.org) and the National Female Condom Coalition (NFCC) (http://www.nationalfccoalition.org). This global competition called for short films (1–5 minutes) that described how female condoms can enhance people’s lives and can be used in a sex-positive manner. The contest was open to individuals around the world who were at least 18 years of age or the age of majority in their countries. Filmmakers of all experience levels were encouraged to enter and any film style or genre was welcomed. Filmmakers were required to thematically address at least one of the following prompts in their entry: 1) Why does the world need female condoms? Are male condoms enough or do we need something more? 2) What do female condoms mean to you and women and men in your community? 3) How would different types of female condoms affect your life or the lives of others? 4) How are female condoms different special or sexy in your experience or the experience of others? Filmmakers titled their “Female Condoms Are_______” entry by filling in the blank with a word or phrase that captured the essence of their work. Films could be recorded in the filmmakers’ native language as long as they were subtitled or dubbed in English. Contest entrants retained ownership rights to their film but also granted PATH and the contest partners a licence to use their film for nonprofit awareness raising advocacy and education
