> The Field will be shot on 65mm and copies will be made available in
> any format. The film has no dialogue in a known language which makes
> the film interesting for all people, without dubbing or
> subtitling.
>
> The Field is designed to have a major impact on the international
> level, contributing to the International Campaign to Ban Landmines
> and contributing to local mine awareness campaigns in countries like
> Mozambique.
>
> We are proud to announce that we have received the support of Mrs.
> Graca Machel, accepting the patronage over the film project and
> giving her personal commitment and efforts to lobby for the
> participation of an Afro-American star actress that will give the
> film even more impact, especially in the United States, one of the
> countries not yet prepared to sign any treaty on landmines.
>
> World wide the film will be distributed through festivals and the
> cinema & television networks. Until today we have received letters
> from five television stations expressing their interest in
> broadcasting the film and we hope more will join in soon.

> Furthermore we have found the Coca Cola Company Mozambique interested
>
> in discussing with us the distribution of the film to over a 1500
> rural video canteens in Mozambique, with an estimated average
> audience of 450,000/night.
>
> Except for money to complete the budget we are looking for
> creative distribution oportunities so that the film will be seen by
> as many people as possible all over the world.
