In partnership with HEIMAT Art, Art for Peace has curated a selection of artworks in-keeping with the events theme. We believe that art has the power to bring hope to life. Art can heal, inspire, and bring awareness to where it's needed.
This initiative aims to promote a new generation of outstanding young film makers that bring positive changes to the world and local communities.
On Sept 13, 2018 - Toronto Waterfront Magazine announced the launch of IPF and FFP at the 3rd annual Waterfront Magazine TIFF Gala event at the Westin Harbour Castle hotel to address the issue of violence. Filmmakers were invited to submit a short film that is informative, inspiring and entertaining.
As an experiential filmmaking program, Film for Peace has engaged participants of all ages from across the world. This initiative is bringing young visual media superstars to the surface by inviting them to submit their creative potential solutions for achieving sustainable peace in communities. Film for Peace short film creators will focus on their vision in expressing what they think could combat such issues as drug abuse, mental health, bullying, social isolation, racism, poverty, especially with a focus on youth and what they are being faced with.
All filmmakers are invited to submit a short film addressing the issue of violence that is informative, inspiring and entertaining.
Sabine Mondestin, a co-founder of Open World Toronto Film Festival, said, “When I heard about TWM initiative Film for Peace, it caught my attention. The issues of violence and the level of cruelties that we are witnessing among youth are overwhelming and striking. I was glad to know that this initiative addressing such issues has been formed in our city.”
As a founder of OWTFF, I am delighted and proud to support and to host Waterfront Magazine with “Film for Peace” Initiative at our 4th OWTFF Closing Gala party and I am looking forward to the next year. On the 5th editions of OWTFF we will showcase to the public the three best films of “Film for Peace” contest, added Sabine.
