Hi Euan,
Thanks for this and the indymedia list.
Do you have any idea about the best way for me to get training in 
filmmaking? I'm doing a couple of practical courses at the moment but I feel 
I need more.

I'm also thinking about setting up a social enterprise not-for-profit 
production company to make films on social and environmental justice and 
Climate Change.

Do you know anyone who might want to be involved or who I could talk things 
over with?

Cheers,

Pamela

>MISSION & OBJECTIVE
>The mission of the GLOBAL PEACE FILM FESTIVAL is to utilize the power
>of the moving image to further the goal of peace on earth. The GPFF
>seeks to create a festival that will reflect a broad definition of
>peace, based on Dr. Martin Luther King's statement: "Peace is not
>only the absence of conflict but also the presence of justice."
>
>ABOUT THE FESTIVAL
>The festival's programming will explore what the struggle for peace
>means to humanity in all aspects of life. Through the sharing of
>films and videos, seminars and discussions on issues of peace, the
>GPFF will bring diverse voices to be heard from around the world.
>
>Among the topics and issues Festival organizers will present are
>Conflict and Resolution, Environmental Peace, Global and Community
>Mediation, Interfaith Efforts Towards Peace, Arms Build Up and War
>Reparations, Water, Media and its Role in a Democracy, Peace
>Activism, Music/Art & Peace; Protecting Women and Children, Providing
>Safe Environments For Innocents and Non-Combatants and
>Intergenerational Learning.
>
>Reflecting our belief that peace is a process that encompasses all
>aspects of human life, we will select films that reflect a broad
>understanding of peace? and acknowledge both individual and
>collective efforts towards peacemaking.
>
>In addition to the Orlando festival, GPFF is programming sections of
>sister festivals in cities worldwide; and partners with Orlando high
>schools and colleges to create educational programs. Inclusion in any
>associated programs is requires prior agreement with filmmakers.
