International Perspektiva,
a Russian Disability NGO, is now accepting submissions for the
third International Disability Film Festival "Breaking Down Barriers"
to take place in Moscow, November 16-19, 2006, and later in a minimum

Azerbaijan, Georgia. During
the first two festivals 179 films from 30 countries were screened.
More than 2,000 people attended festival activities in Moscow, extensive
media coverage was solicited. Festivals were also held in 15 regions
of Russia and the NIS where at least 5,000 people attended. Perspektiva
and its partners continue to use these films to educate people in
their communities about a wide variety of disability issues. Eligibility requirements: All
works submitted for the Breaking Down Barriers Film Festival
should portray a disability issue. We encourage films that have been
produced by and with the participation of persons with disabilities.
Any size is welcome, including public service announcements. All works must have been produced after January 1,2000. All works must be postmarked by May 31, 2006. All
works that are not in Russian should be submitted in English or with
English sub-titles. Transcripts should also be included. The preferred format is PAL, but if this is a problem, films will be accepted in other formats. However, if a film is chosen for viewing at the festival, a Betacam or DVD PAL version will be required. If selected for viewing, filmmakers will also be asked to submit photos. For
