Bringing the world together through its diversity
With the ultimate objective of documenting all the cultures of the world in a collection of documentaries, the project Cultures on Film states its mission as:
Diffuse hatred and prejudice through documentary films that expose viewers to unrealized elements of cultures from every country in order to encourage each other to expand our horizons and challenge ourselves to discover the oneness of life and the interdependence of all beings.
One of their current global projects “The Human Experience” focuses on countries that are currently in conflict or poses under-represented cultures in the mainstream media such as Iran, Cuba, Rwanda, Cyprus, Romania, Indonesia and a few others.
Anyone knows of a similar project? Leave a comment.
The Pangea Day project had a similar purpose – also through films (not necessarily documentaries though). There was an event in May this year where short films from all over the world were screened in various locations. The films are still available on their site, I don’t know what their plans are to develop the idea in future.
