Fill in the Gap Competition

Join our FILL IN THE GAP

Are a young person between the ages of 18-30 participate in this competition to showcase your creativity.

For four years in a row, Paradigm Initiative has produced short films from its annual Digital Rights and Inclusion Report- Londa.

The 4th short film, Undersight, which is the latest in PIN’s stable, is inspired by the 2022 Londa Report which summarises the state of digital rights and inclusion across 24 African countries. The movie follows the journey of Omar, a brilliant computer programmer who creates revolutionary data collation software, which is in high demand.

This competition is for young viewers between the ages of 18-30 who will watch the film, and ‘Fill in the Gap’ by creating scenarios they would have wished to see based on the movie plot/story. The competition allows the young viewers to showcase their creativity while angling to participate in the development of PIN’s 5th Short Film.
