Peace on Earth Film Festival 2011 (POEFF)


The 2011 Peace on Earth Film Festival (POEFF), along with the Board of Directors of Transcendence Global Media, will showcase an intriguing exploration of film in the areas of peace, nonviolence, social justice and an eco-balanced world at the Chicago Cultural Center’s Claudia Cassidy Theater, 78 East Washington, Friday, February 25 through Sunday, February 27. All screenings are free and open to the public.

“The Peace on Earth Film Festival was designed to encourage filmmakers to craft films in the genre of peace, nonviolence, social justice and an eco-balanced world,” says POEFF Executive Director Nick Angotti. “However, we have taken the festival beyond showing films and awarding filmmakers and have helped showcase Chicago’s effort for peace and environmental protection while providing an education element to the audience".The 30 films being screened were chosen from a field of 148 international films addressing similar topics.

Admission to all screenings and events are free and open to the public on a first come, first served basis and held at the Chicago Cultural Center’s Claudia Cassidy Theater, 78 E. Washington Street, Chicago. For more information visit www.peaceonearthfilmfestival.org.
