Welcome to CULTURES on FILM ... History In The Making

Greater human understanding, acceptance, tolerance and the recognition of our ONEness survive at the foundation of our “civilized” world. With CULTURES on FILM we intend to create and distribute a “film library” exploring the amazing connectivity we humans share through our diverseness one culture at a time . . . and, in our own small way, or perhaps not so small . . . help make the world a better place.

Cultural diversity is one of our world’s greatest gifts. Our mission is to observe, preserve and celebrate this diversity through film, by creating compelling, thought-provoking documentaries that chronicle the tremendously different people and cultures that fill our world community.

Please explore our website and, if you share our passion for POSITIVE CHANGE, we invite you to join an ever-growing group of concerned citizens who believe in our goal to bring “an honest and independent view” of our world’s many diverse cultures that together form the human experience.

At present, our area of focus include:

GLOBAL FILM PROJECT – “The Human Experience”
UNREPRESENTED PEOPLE DOCUMENTARY PROJECT
HOMELAND PROJECT “Our Society” DVD SERIES

GLOBAL FILM PROJECT - “The Human Experience”

For the first time in history, CULTURES on FILM is combining the talents of experienced filmmakers from around the world to promote cross cultural understanding through a series of documentaries focused solely on the lifestyles, values, and attitudes of individuals who inhabit the more than 200 nations in our world.

This approach will provide viewers an opportunity to gain an enriched appreciation for each country's unique culture through in-depth 60 to 120 minute documentaries that will include interviews with the country’s citizens and an unflinching view of their society. Each film will be directed by a local, independent filmmaker from each respective nation.

CULTURESonFILM will produce the films in stages. The first phase focuses on countries that are currently in conflict or are cultures that are under-represented in the mainstream media. The first group of films, scheduled for production in 2007 and 2008 are:
IRAN CUBA RWANDA CYPRUS URUGUAY ISRAEL USA ROMANIA LEBANON INDONESI IMAGE_MAP

By breaking down this global project into a strategic plan with manageable parts, we can give each group of films the attention and consideration they deserve.

UNREPRESENTED and UNRECOGNIZED PEOPLE

We are partnering with other not-for-profit organizations that focus on unrepresented nations and people, and we will chronicle their livelihoods and struggle to protect and promote their human rights and cultural preservation. These films will also follow their dedication to find non-violent solutions to the conflicts that affect them.

This collaboration is equally important to our vision and goal to educate people about the myriad and richness of other cultures. Their insights will add great depth and perspective to the films, contributing to our mission and effort to promote harmony, tolerance, and positive change. Some of the first films about unrepresented nations and people we will create in 2008 are:


HOMELAND PROJECT “Our Society” DVD SERIES

“Our Society” DVD Series is devoted to educating and informing people in the United States about the topics that touch our everyday lives. Each film will encourage better living by embracing and promoting cultural harmony and mutual respect for one another.

These films will be of particular significance to the millions of newcomers to the United States as they will help them transition to life in America and better understand our cultural norms and values.

Partial list of the “Our Society” DVD titles:

  • WELCOME TO THE LAW
  • LIVING IN AMERICA
  • THE INTERNET AND YOU
  • PARENTING – THE MOST IMPORTANT JOB YOU’LL EVER HAVE
  • ADDICTION
  • THE MEDIA – HOW TO READ OR SEE IT

CULTURESonFILM believes that these films can help people in our society to understand, think, and take positive action toward bettering their lives and communities. Educational filmmaking is our passion and is our way to help viewers connect with each other and the world.

MISSION STATEMENT

CULTURESonFILM seeks to educate and unite our world community through the production and distribution of films that accurately and truthfully document the lives, voices, and points of view of the people who inhabit every nation.

As seen through the lenses of local, independent filmmakers, each film in its own way will raise awareness and consciousness – both individually and collectively – toward global access, understanding, and harmony.
