11th Annual Peace Festival : Film Festival - Discovering Inner Peace

Join us September 16–21 for the 11th Annual International Day of Peace Festival—a week filled with inspiring free workshops, thought-provoking films, and hands-on community art-making. This year’s festival offers a space to reflect, connect, and explore how each of us can nurture peace in our own lives and communities during challenging times. Admission is free, but reservations are required.

On Friday, September 19th starting at 6:30 there will be an evening of film focusing on finding inner peace.  The featured film is AHIMSA

AHIMSA is the sequel to Claus Mikosch's first documentary film, ANICCA. As he describes the film: This time it's not about change, but about peace. 

 "I started working on the film in January 2022. When the situation in Ukraine escalated two months later, a few people approached me saying what a coincidence it was that I'm making a film about peace. I must have anticipated it, they said. The truth, however, has nothing to do with clairvoyance or coincidence. The reason I wanted to make a film about peace is because, for as long as I can remember, there's always been some armed conflict going on somewhere in the world. And in my everyday life, I also encounter many moments that aren't peaceful at all. So... If I'm not fully peaceful  - how can I expect a peaceful world?"
