ABOUT THE GLOBAL PEACE FILM FESTIVAL:

The Global Peace Film Festival (GPFF) is “story and community in action.” As Martin Luther King, Jr posited, “Peace is not only the absence of conflict, but also the presence of justice.” Since the search for justice resides in stories beyond war, GPFF seeks stories that make us laugh, think, cry, sit taller in our seats, then ask, “What can I do?” To answer that question, we pair films with post-screening discussions and events that inspire and catalyze our audiences to take positive, non-violent action.

Beyond the program, GPFF collaborates with filmmakers, changemakers and organizations to model, inspire and track peaceful change on the personal, local, national or global level. Our motto is “It starts here” because the real work of our mission starts when the lights come up and our audience meets the inspiration of our programming with their own good works.

1. The Global Peace Film Festival is a week-long ticketed, live screening plus event focused on community action and social engagement. Films with impact campaigns are welcomed.
