We are interested in all kinds of environmental issues and traditions. We seek to disseminate messages that usually do not receive the necessary coverage, much less in rural communities where cultural and artistic exhibitions are sadly absent.

Handwritten letters become source of inspiration for original short films produced by filmmakers from all over the world and commissioned by the Letters’ Festival in collaboration with the London Short Film Festival. This is Movieletters’ project: a unique mix between letter writing and film making that, throughout the years, has given birth to wonderful works of art.

For the 2016 edition of the Movieletters’ competition, film directors from around the world are invited to make short films translating into cinematic language the words contained in the letter written by Dr. Jane Goodall, DBE, founder of the Jane Goodall Institute and UN Peace Messenger.

The text of the letter, downloadable in different languages, must appear either wholly or partially (simple quotes are also allowed) within the short film, in the way that the author deems most appropriate: voice-over, lettering motion, opening and closing credits, etc.

A dedicated jury will decide on the short film finalists and the winner.
