chashama Film Festival 2009 - The Festival of the Worlds provides a forum for global expression through filmmaking. It is a platform for a spectrum of political, cultural and philosophical ideologies presented in an environment designed to foster creative and intellectual expansion. Our goal is to explore both the differences and the similarities of the international community in order to become a more educated population, one that is more capable of avoiding negative historical cycles and more willing to push us into a sustainable future. We expect this year’s festival to reach an audience of over 1000 people in venues that embrace today’s global nature, including museums and international theaters (which we are currently seeking). The festival is designed to cultivate a community of filmmakers who can share, network, and help to build each other’s vision. chashama Film Festival is dedicated to the art of film and the existence of uncensored outlets.
