BMW: Cinema for Peace Gala
War, terrorism and humanitarian catastrophes are sad realities in many parts of the world. For the most part, our perception of this world is shaped by the media and by pictures. Within this context, film has a particularly important role to play. This is why each year CINEMA FOR PEACE invites movie makers from all over the world to a gala night, creating a platform for peace and tolerance. During the course of the gala, an award is presented to an important director whose film has served as a particular example - in 2002 this was István Szábo and in 2003 it was Danis Tanovic for his Oscar-winning Bosnian anti-war satire NO MAN´S LAND.
