2.SOUNDBITE (English) Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, WHO Director-General:
"I am delighted to be here today to announce the winners of the second WHO Health for All Film Festival. We launched this festival last year as the world was facing the shared threat of the COVID-19 pandemic. The lesson has been strong and clear: the only way to take on shared threats is to work together, in solidarity."

4.SOUNDBITE (English) Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, WHO Director-General:
"The WHO Health for All Film Festival was founded on the idea that solidarity begins with shared experience. The individuals and communities who are sharing their stories in this festival are shining a powerful light on the different ways that people around the world experience health and health care. Each film exposes its audience to new situations and different realities."

6.SOUNDBITE (English) Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, WHO Director-General:
"In an extraordinary demonstration of creative energy and enthusiasm, the second edition of the film festival attracted nearly one thousand two hundred short film submissions from one hundred and ten countries. The films are as diverse in topic as they are in style, ranging from documentaries to fictional stories to animations. Perhaps unsurprisingly, 40 per cent of entries this year related to stories about the COVID-19 pandemic. The 56 shortlisted films have been sorted into categories that reflect WHO’s major areas of work: universal health coverage, health emergencies and better health and wellbeing."
