Venezuela has the largest proven oil reserves in the world. It was once so rich that Concorde used to fly from Caracas to Paris. But in the last three years its economy has collapsed. Hunger has gripped the nation for years. Now, it’s killing people and animals that are dying of starvation. The Venezuelan government knows, but won’t admit it!!! Four in five Venezuelans live in poverty. People queue for hours to buy food. Much of the time they go without. People are also dying from a lack of medicines. Inflation is at 82,766% and there are warnings it could exceed one million per cent by the end of this year. Venezuelans are trying to get out. The UN says 2.3 million people have fled the country - 7% of the population.

Funding: NYSCA Funding/WMM Fiscal Sponsorship Deadlines Approaching

February 9, 2011

Hello!

This is an announcement from Women Make Movies about the NYSCA funding
and WMM Fiscal Sponsorship deadlines that are quickly approaching!

The New York State Council on the Arts (NYSCA) awards grants up to
$25,000 for artists who are residents of New York State in production on
a Film, Media, New Technology, or Video project. Fiction, experimental,
animation, and documentary projects are all eligible to apply. Because
NYSCA cannot fund individual artists directly, all applications to the
Individual Artists program must be submitted through a fiscal sponsor
(that's where WMM comes in).

All intended applicants must register their intent to apply in the WMM
Office between January 24 and February 22, 2011 (the last day to apply
at WMM is February 18). You must sign up for a timeslot in order to do
so. This is our deadline for registering your request for funding, which
will then be submitted to NYSCA via their website.

For more information, please visit http://www.wmm.com/nysca/

The deadline to apply for Women Make Movies' Fiscal Sponsorship program
is February 15th! For more information about the FS program and
application, please visit
