The World Forum was held by the Cinema for Peace Foundation and its partners.

For the past two decades, the Cinema for Peace Foundation has reached over one billion people, initiated more than 20 films, raised more than $10 million for humanitarian efforts with the involvement of over a hundred Academy Award-winning artists; more than 30 heads of states, 100 ministers and elected officials; as well as icons of humankind and a better future such as Nelson Mandela, The Dalai Lama, Muhammad Ali, and Mikhail Gorbachev.

The Cinema for Peace Foundation has also contributed to protecting the lives and freedoms of dissidents such as Alexei Navalny, Ai Weiwei, Pussy Riot, and lesser-known victims such as the Burmese comedian Zarganar, whose release from prison was triggered by a documentary film initiated by The Cinema for Peace Foundation. The World Forum will utilize documentary films containing facts and evidence to inspire a discussion on some of the world’s most pressing problems.
