About
us...
Magic Lantern Foundation
(MLF) came into being in 1989 as a media action group with
the objective of using communication tools to advance human
rights and give voice to the problems and concerns of
marginalised people. In the process, we realised the growing
importance of the audio visual medium, video in particular,
in both informing as well as initiating debates and
discussions on social issues. We decided to concentrate on
this medium. Since the very beginning, MLF has been involved
with:
| 
|
Production
of issue-based documentaries in partnership with people's
organisations. |
| |
|
|
|
Campaigns
on issues of social justice, environment, gender and culture.
MLF has campaigned on the rights of forest
dwellers to forest produce, labour rights of construction
workers and against the development of large-scale
tourism. |
| |
|
|
|
Training
of grassroots activists on the skills of production and
media education with grassroots organisations, to develop
an understanding about the role of media, critically assess
media and integrate media use with local interventions. |
| |
|
|
|
Distribution
and dissemination of independent films. |
