For the last 16 years Orlando has been so proud to serve as the home of the Global Peace Film Festival. This festival is a global event that could happen anywhere in the world and we are honored The City Beautiful is its host. Love and compassion are major themes of the Global Peace Film Festival and those attributes are on display at each screening and event. It’s fitting that theestival f is held here, because our community has shown the world the power of unity and how to respond to difficult situations with love and compassion. I’d like to thank the many sponsors and volunteers who helped make this year’s event possible and I’d like to extend my congratulations to the Global Peace Film Festival on the selection of features, documentaries and short films being featured. Best wishes for a very productive and enjoyable festival and thank you for all you do to advance peace, love and compassion in our community, nation and world.
