THE FUTURE

SHORT FILM CONTEST

Recent events have provided a historic opportunity to reflect on our global problems. We have started conversations on how to achieve a peaceful, prosperous, more egalitarian, and self-sustainable world and are working on novel ideas on how to revive the economy and support businesses in their localities. All these ideas constitute a collective knowledge that must be shared and used.

Eventos recientes han propiciado una oportunidad histórica para la reflexión. Alrededor del planeta hemos abierto conversaciones sobre cómo alcanzar un mundo en paz, próspero, más igualitario y autosustentable y se buscan cómo reactivar la economía y apoyar a los negocios locales. Todas estas ideas constituyen un acervo que debe ser compartido y utilizado.
