Youth Voices

Youth Voices program is a new initiative that aims to support and empower university students in Thailand to produce short films that explore the impacts of the climate crisis.

  • The Youth Voices program is the CCCL's new initiative supported by the Thai Media Fund. The program aims to expand access to production funding for climate short films among university and college students in Thailand, with the goal of empowering young people to become climate communicators. The project also seeks to build a network of emerging filmmakers who will help amplifying climate change in communities and at the national level.

    ​

    The project will select 5 projects and provide a production grant of 30,000 baht per project. Interested applicants may apply as a team of 5 members (each team must include a director and producer as core team members)

    1. Applicants must be under 25 years old and are current undergraduate students or students enrolled in a higher vocational certificate program.

    2. The application must be submitted by either the project's producer or director.

    3. Each project must have a faculty advisor from the applicant's educational institution who will provide guidance and oversee the project throughout the program.

    4. Applicants should have produced at least one video or short film.

    5. If selected, the filmmaking team must be available to participate in all program activities throughout the duration of the program.

    1. The proposal must be written for a fiction short film.

    2. If selected, the finished film must be at least 5 minutes in length and not exceed 15 minutes.

    3. Application documents

      1. Logline (not exceeding 150 words)

      2. Synopsis (not exceeding 500 words)

      3. Treatment

      4. Key visual (a single image that represents your project)

      5. Director’s statement/Motivation letter: applicants must explain why they are passionate about telling this story and describe their plans for the project following the completion of the short film, including how they intend to engage audiences, distribute the film, or extend its impact.

      6. Director and producer bio(s)

      7. A sample of previous work. It can either be a short film under 15 minutes or an excerpt from your films. If you haven't produced a short film, please send us a video clip or related work that shows your experience and your vision as a storyteller.

  • CCCL invites proposals for film projects that explore the climate crisis and its intersections with social, economic, cultural, and environmental issues. We are not looking for campaign or advocacy films. Instead, we seek stories that authentically integrate the realities of climate change and its effects on people, communities, and ecosystems. Projects may address one or more of the following thematic priorities:

    1. Urban Heat
      Projects may examine the impacts of rising urban temperatures driven by climate change and urbanization, including public health, quality of life, the use of public spaces, and inequalities in access to green spaces and heat-resilient infrastructure. We encourage proposals that explore innovative approaches to creating safer, healthier, and more inclusive cities.

    2. Animal Welfare in the Climate Crisis
      Projects may focus on the experiences of wildlife, pets, or farm animals affected by climate change, including habitat loss, droughts, floods, wildfires, and extreme heat. Proposals may also examine the role of people in protecting, restoring, and coexisting sustainably with animals in a changing climate.

    3. Impact of Climate Disasters on Children
      We seek projects that document or interpret the experiences of children affected by climate-related disasters such as floods, wildfires, and severe storms, with particular attention to mental health, emotional well-being, loss of safety, and educational disruption. Proposals highlighting recovery, care, and child-centered resilience are strongly encouraged.

    4. Climate Justice
      Projects should explore the unequal impacts of the climate crisis, recognizing that those who contribute the least are often the most affected. We encourage stories centered on vulnerable communities, workers, farmers, children, and indigenous peoples while examining the responsibilities of governments, businesses, and society in advancing a just transition that leaves no one behind.

    5. Biodiversity
      Projects may explore the importance of biodiversity to human well-being and the effects of climate change on ecosystems, plant and animal species, and natural resources. We welcome stories that highlight individuals, organizations, or communities working to conserve, restore, and protect biodiversity, contributing to a more resilient and sustainable future.
