The Cinema for Peace initiative aims to raise awareness for the social relevance of films and to make active use of the influence of movies and documentaries on the perception and resolution of global social, political and humanitarian challenges of our time. Since 2002, the Cinema for Peace initiative has been inviting members of the film community, humanitarian and human rights activists, as well as international public figures to its annual gala in Berlin to honor a selection of cinematic works on important humanitarian and environmental issues. The awards include: The Most Valuable Movie of the Year, The Most Valuable Documentary of the Year, The International Green Film Award, The Award for Justice, the International Human Rights Award and further Honorary Awards. In addition to bestowing awards, Cinema for Peace is also raising funds for the Cinema for Peace Foundation and other charities.
