PEACE AND NATURE IN ART AND CINEMA 7TH EDITION CINEMARTFESTIVAL OF NATURE AND PEACE 14-15-16TH OF MAI 2004 AT THE ABBAZIA DI FARFA IN ITALY Working for peace and nature with Art and Cinema Social change, wars, important decision that determine the courses of our lives, and of all other beings in the world are often related to the “cultural climate” at a given period in time. We can change reality through our actions and by constantly seeking and issuing information. This is the common goal of all of those who wish to build a better world in which there are no wars, in which civil and human rights are respected, and in which nature is loved and preserved. We called the movement “Enzymes of peace” because we are convinced that each day, at every moment, “cultural enzymes” are brought into the world by those who have realised how urgent it is to change directions, and help develop a culture of peace and conviviality. This happens all over the world, in all social groups, with no distinction of race, sex or age. It is the movement of those who believe in life and its values and wish to plan and grow the tree of peace, the thousand-coloured tree. Through art and cinema we can create works of art that spread our cultural enzymes of peace.
