During the
Weekend of
August 5th 2012, an incredible gesture of
Global Unity &
Socially Conscious Artistic
Expression occurred
across the world from
Australia to
Vancouver, BC.
Coupled with a Global
Food Drive to help the growing poor population, the 2nd
Annual Zeitgeist Media Festival is working to inspire creative change in a world which seems to be running out of ideas to help itself
.
In the words of journalist
Bruce Lyons of "
Hollywood Today": "It was a Festival of full-spectrum conviction, overflowing with compelling emotions that reflect the real conundrums pressing in upon our emerging global society with accelerating force. In this sense this now-annual Festival is a natural outgrowth of a growing, terrestrial upheaval that is going to leave no part of man's collective being untouched."

Recognizing the power of art and media to help change the world, the annual "Zeitgeist Media Festival"(
ZMF) bridges the artistic & activist communities in the hope to inspire change. It recognizes that deeply needed, radical changes in the structural/economic workings of society can only manifest in tandem with a personal/social transformation of values in each of us.
Keeping the gesture of the long history of influential artistic creators whose vision have changed our world for the better, the ZMF works to unify the world through this expression with the basic ethos that we are One
Species sharing One
Planet and it is time the world learns to work together for the betterment of all before it is too late.
Mission:
The Mission of The Zeitgeist Media Festival is to unify the world through annual awareness events that bridge the
difference between all nations, races, classes, genders and creeds; to understand we all share the same basic needs; to understand we are truly One
Family sharing One
Habitat and that our world views and hence societal approaches should reflect this foundational Global
Perspective. The ZMF works to help facilitate this unifying expression for all socially conscious organizations that wish to use the power of
Art to effect change in the social "Zeitgeist" - advancing our value system to see how much positive possibility there is for real social change if we choose not to fear it.
