London, UK Hosts Fundraiser for FilmAid

FilmAid International and Open Air Cinema announced a partnership to bring free film screenings to refugee camps and post-disaster communities worldwide. FilmAid, which has operated in refugee settings in Kenya, Tanzania, Macedonia, and post-Katrina Mississippi, would use Open Air Cinema's inflatable screen systems to expand its reach and improve portability.

“FilmAid brings the healing power of film to people in crisis, using it as a tool to promote reconciliation and provide access to critical health information,” said FilmAid executive director Caroline Baron. Open Air Cinema's Stuart Farmer added: “Our screen systems are designed to be set up and running in minutes. For FilmAid's field teams, that means one less barrier between arriving and getting the film in front of an audience.”
