As the Global Peace Film Festival starts prepping its ninth run, September 20 to 25, 2011, in Orlando, Florida, filmmakers seeking to cool planetary passions have till May 6 to submit their creations. (May 20 is the late deadline, and June 3, the final web one.) Considering the year's "Days of Rage" alone, this forum dedicated to stories of peacemaking and environmental sustainability has its work cut out for it.
While the Middle East may be especially hot this year, GPFF prides itself on showcasing films from all six continents, as it has since its inception. Mexico, Finland, Tanzania, Peru, Israel and Palestine are but a half dozen of the 45 national backdrops featured on the last Festival slate.
