The Fundación Tres Culturas is once again celebrating the diversity of cultures with a film series dedicated to highlighting what is different and promoting everything that helps us to understand the need for diversity as part of the common heritage of humanity.
Film has the power to illustrate different ways of living, understanding and participating in the world, bringing new perspectives and also different ways of resolving conflicts. Cultural diversity thus contributes to the solution of common problems and the search for creative answers to the main conflicts of Humanity, mainly those related to peace and solidarity.
This cycle is part of the celebration of May as Cultural Diversity Month, given that Friday 21 is World Day for Cultural Diversity for Dialogue and Development, which promotes peaceful and enriching coexistence among all the peoples that inhabit the planet.
The films and documentaries proposed in this cycle open the doors to beautiful landscapes and distant languages in order to highlight the value of human interrelation, the key to peaceful coexistence and to a shared social future.
