2013 Peace On Earth Film Festival Official Selections

The Peace On Earth Film Festival's Directors and Review Committee are pleased to announce the 2013 Official Selections

The POEFF Directors and Review Committee extend their deep appreciation to all of the filmmakers who submitted their peace films for consideration in the 2013 festival. The process of narrowing down the field of submissions was a challenging one for the Review Committee, considering the quality and themes of the submissions. Our highest regard for you, your crew, pre and post-production teams, everyone involved in the creation of your works of art. Most importantly, the 2013 Peace On Earth Film Festival's Review Committee thanks you for your steadfast dedication to peace, nonviolence, social justice and an eco-balanced world through the art of filmmaking.
