<p>The Routing for Communities film festival is an online screening about community networks and people decentralising the internet for change. Taking place on 3 December, the film festival offers the opportunity to see a series of creative and inspiring short videos produced by communities in Africa, Asia and Latin America. It will also serve as a space for sharing experiences, talking with the filmmakers and learning together.</p>
<p>We will be publicly screening for the first time a series of short films made by communities and organisations, after a process of feedback and exchange with the LocNet initiative for the past few years. We will also present films made by APC members and LocNet partners on diverse experiences with community networks. The films capture the different contexts and initiatives of community networks around the world, exploring both the challenges and joys of their work.</p>
<p>After the online screening, the films will remain available to be watched online. Find the link to each one of them below.</p> <br>
<p><i> The Routing for Communities videos collection is part of the "<a href="https://www.apc.org/en/project/connecting-unconnected-supporting-community-networks-and-other-community-based-connectivity">Connecting the Unconnected: Supporting community networks and other community-based connectivity initiatives</a>" project implemented by the Association for Progressive Communications (APC) in partnership with Rhizomatica, with funds from the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (Sida).

<p>Oral storytelling is very important to the 3,000 Ju|’hoansi people who live in 40 villages in the bush and in the town of Tsumkwe in northeastern Namibia. As people in villages do not have electricity or motorcars, our project took a solar panel and a power bank to each village. The power bank is also an audio speaker and people quickly learned how to set up the solar panel to charge it. Our project also gave each village a cell phone. But because there is no cell phone network in most villages, our communication system could not be online. Instead the team built a special offline social network that sends messages by Bluetooth. This short film captures Ju|’hoansi people’s thoughts, challenges and joys on the project. It also presents their wishes for the future and introduces us to their knowledge, way of living and beautiful landscapes.</p>

<p>In the ancestral territory of Sa'th Tama Kiwe, there have been different collaborative communication processes over time. Orality, dreams, sign language, messages through smoke, fireworks, radio and television are the media that have accompanied the Indigenous Nasa and campesino people's life plans and their defense of autonomy for "good living" (buen vivir). After the peace dialogue between the Colombian government and the FARC and as the beginning of reconciliation for a territorial peace, the community, including ex-combatants and other actors, have worked hand-in-hand to strengthen communication, mainly through the internet and intranet as well as new technologies. The construction of a community network has been a process that has brought benefits and opportunities that improve the quality of life in the region and also revitalises ancestral knowledge, allowing the transmission of local knowledge. The appropriation of technology has been fundamental for territorial control and the exercise of effective autonomy, as well as for access to and dynamisation of the health, education and economic systems. <br /> This audiovisual production, produced by a group of young people from the Nasa Indigenous Resguardo of Pueblo Nuevo, tells the story of the construction of the Jxa'h Wejxia Casil network that began operating in September 2020 in the municipalities of Caldono and Silvia in Cauca (Colombia).</p>

<p>Bamboo is a natural wonder, abundant in many parts of the global South. This raw material can amplify the potential of community networks if we learn the appropriate techniques to work with it. The Portal sem Porteiras community network, along with Coolab, experimented with bamboo for building a sturdy and durable tower that can raise routers high while using local low tech.</p>
