About us

Short film competition for young talent between the ages of 16 and 22 by invitation of the Zariya Foundation.

Moving Shorts films with “Love in Action” as the Source of Inspiration.

“Movies” tell stories with pictures in motion. Stories that can touch and inspire, especially in this fascinating art form. We invite you to create a short film, that not only touches and inspires but also moves the audience with your story! Your film documents helpful acts of caring for others and of silent heroes in your everyday life and personal environment.

Your message about lived “Love in Action” encourages reflection and motivates action out of compassion, tolerance, respect and love.

The Zariya Foundation’s mission is to inspire and motivate people and improve the conditions of poor children, especially in education and healthcare.

The Zariya Foundation is a politically and religiously independent foundation.

Zariya, in Urdu, means “source.” We believe that every person has every opportunity in their daily lives to be a source of compassion, respect, and love. We want to encourage people to promote universal human values in their personal environment and to actively use their own resources, skills, and talents so that true change can happen from within.

Beyond the production of the film “Mother Teresa & Me”, the Zariya Foundation team wants to invite people to develop a transformative and multiplying power through collective action and to make a real and concrete contribution.
