About Cinevirus: Make A Scene

AIDS/HIV is changing more lives each day. We invite you to show the world how AIDS has changed the way your life looks and the way you see your world by creating a short digital film (30 - 45 secs is optimal, no longer than 60 secs).

The common parlance of AIDS/HIV has taught us to speak in faceless numbers and careful preventative measures. This is an opportunity to illuminate the changes in lives that deserve to be documented: your personal experience. Whether you know someone infected, are infected, feel vulnerable or invincible, show everyone the impact AIDS has had on your personal landscape.

With current leaps in digital technology, on-line film is a vital form of expression. It is our hope that these films not be Public Service Announcements, but a reflection of your individual and unique experience. In a media culture where we are constantly reminded of what to be afraid of, we think that by illustrating how people's day to day experience is altered by AIDS it will help us remember why.
