PROJECTS

The Cinema for Peace Foundation endeavors to further peace and understanding worldwide through the support of cinematographic works. Through the involvement in the production and dissemination of films about violence, ecocide, war, poverty, the prevention of diseases (e.g. AIDS) and violations of human rights, The Cinema for Peace Foundation undertakes to raise awareness about these issues worldwide, both in the first world countries as well as in the afflicted countries. Such films are supported and made accessible through the foundation as widely as possible, either directly by Cinema for Peace, or by supporting third parties in doing so.
