2022 Theme: Traditional Craftsmanship

WHintangible video contest

Whintangible (World Heritage Intangible) aims to document the UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage with a focus on video production and within countries located in the global south. Items listed as UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage are very important as they represent our traditions, ethnic lifestyles, and culture. Despite this importance, they are less documented than tangible heritage, and even when documented they are documented in a format that don't reflect a clear idea of it(mainly text).
