TELE FILM
"Pesu Maname Pesu" is a one-hour tele film in Tamil with two endings,
adapted from a field-tested HIV street play script, followed by a
discussion with a doctor. As it has multiple endings it provokes
argument and discussion when audiences are asked to choose their
preferred ending. Part I is the story of the village girl who falls a victim
to AIDS. Part 2 is a discussion with Dr.Suniti Solomon, who answers
questions raised in the story about HIV AIDS.
Cost: Rs. 2500/- for both parts
HOW IT CAN BE USED:
It can be used in training workshops and we have had excellent
feedback from those who have used it in the field. Forty cassettes
were bought by the AIDS Prevention and Control Society (APAC),
the nodal agency for USAID projects for distribution among NGOs.
Based as they are on our field experience, these IEC materials have
been used very successfully in the field. Part I is available in Kannada,
Telugu and Malayalam as well. Nalamdana seeks funds to produce
more of these materials, to translate these into other Indian languages,
notably the languages of states where HIV/AIDS infection is high.

 SHORT AD FILM
"Azhage vaa" is a short film, 1.5 minutes duration, created in
2006. It shows how an HIV positive wife finds support from her
loving husband. This ad film, with an urban slant, features a song
sung by the leading Tamil playback singer, S.P. Balasubramaniam,
from Nalamdana's own tape. Local sponsors help Nalamdana to
screen this film in cinema halls. It is also used by Nalamnada's
innovative trainers in their various workshops.
