Ten world premieres are among the 38 films from 19 countries selected to compete at this year’s festival.
This is the 11th edition of the most important and renown nonviolent film festival in the world that was founded in 2012 by film director Bruno Pischiutta and producer Daria Trifu.
The program offers 38 full-length films, documentaries, animation and experimental movies, and music videos that will all go live on Thursday and stream during the festival on a pay-per-view basis. There will also be free content available such as the Daily Video Presentations (11 in total) and the Awards Video Presentation, in addition to the films’ trailers. For the viewers who wish to follow the entire festival, there are VIP Passes available to purchase directly from the channel at the price of $100 each; one pass offers 7-day access to all the content. Viewers may also opt to pay-per-view for the titles that interest them most.
Festival director Daria Trifu promises “great entertainment provided by inspiring stories that are told on film by exceptional talent in a kaleidoscope of cultures and nationalities.” Speaking of the festival’s mission, she quotes Greek teacher and film buff Athina Aigli who had this to say, “Global Nonviolent Film Festival allows us to take a look at what make this world beautiful and interesting, what enriches people’s relationships, and what motivates us to look deep within. It challenges all of us to focus on everything that is non-violence related.”
In the first day’s Video Presentation, that will go live tomorrow morning, September 29, the hosts will introduce the members of the jury and the following three films from the line-up:
ABYSS IN (world premiere) Feature, 60 min., Greece Directed by Yannis Aivazis
HAPPY STONES Documentary, 60 min., Bulgaria Directed by Zoya Dimitrova
I AM NOT AN ANGEL Animation, 11 min., Canada Directed by Joe Chang
In a recent article published by the Greek media, Daria Trifu said that she was “proud that this year our festival opens with Abyss In. This film shows us the dramatic conclusion of a love story that cannot overcome the mental illness and the progressive suffering that separation, isolation and divorce bring to a middle-age man. Yannis Aivazis starts his film directing career brilliantly, and his work rightfully demands our attention.”
When asked for his thoughts about the Greek film, Bruno Pischiutta had this to say, “many things struck me in this film. For a start, the timing and pace of the direction and acting are perfect; nothing is superfluous, nothing is redundant. Yannis makes some amazing directorial choices for a first-time director, and does not fall into any of the many traps in which even the best first-time directors often fall into. There is not a single wrong camera movement, and the ensemble Yannis has created is remarkable. The actors are all good and carefully chosen. Bravo to Stavros Parcharidis whose performance is outstanding, and to Christine Konstantinidou in the part of Anna! The sets designed and furnished by Maria Korinthiou fit perfectly with the story, which is constantly emphasized by Yorgos Vasiliadis’ cinematography that stops at the essentials. All the elements of the drama are offered to the viewer, but there is nothing more, there is only what needs to be there.”
The art, culture, and entertainment magazine “Daria!” provides the full coverage of the Festival with articles about the selected films, and daily news throughout the event. The magazine, founded in 2005 by Daria Trifu, is available at dariamagazine.com.
Among the films premiering at the festival, there are the first-ever full-length documentary about the life of Mahatma Gandhi’s wife, and the directorial debut feature film of Greek movie star and TV personality Yannis Aivazis.
September 16, 2022 – Hollywood, California – An extraordinary line-up of 38 films and documentaries from 19 countries will be showcased at the 11th Global Nonviolent Film Festival that is set to begin on September 29 and run for 11 days. Ten of the announced films will make their World Premiere.

March 23, 2022 – Hollywood, California – The Global Nonviolent Film Festival reveals the official poster for its eleventh annual edition, which takes place this year from September 29 to October 9.
The poster was designed and created by film producer and festival director Daria Trifu. It features icons of the silver screen such as Charlie Chaplin, Grace Kelly, James Stewart, Alfred Hitchcock, Paul Newman, Marilyn Monroe, Elizabeth Taylor, Katharine Hepburn, Morgan Freeman, Audrey Hepburn, James Dean, and Bruno Pischiutta.
Official Poster of the Global Nonviolent Film Festival 2022.
“I created this poster as a personal tribute to the people who inspire me and who are the reason I became a filmmaker”, says Daria Trifu. She continues, “a few days ago, I wanted to remind myself of the beauty, elegance and overall style of ‘old Hollywood’, the time when the influence of stars on the world and on ‘ordinary people’ was so powerful and all so inspiring. Grace Kelly’s sheer beauty and elegance transcends generations and resonates with women of all ages; Katharine Hepburn’s tenacious independence and vivacious personality helped her cultivate an on-screen persona that matched her public image; Audrey Hepburn’s innocence, kindness and angelic character are not a mirage of the silver screen but the essence of her lifelong commitment to humanitarian work and children’s rights advocacy; the complexity of Alfred Hitchcock’s camera movements and suspenseful shots is still unsurpassed today; while Charlie Chaplin’s creative genius is the backbone of an entire industry. I spent hours searching the web and a theme was slowly building in my mind: in today’s world, that is fueled by social media, the idol as it was once defined is rapidly fading away as the subject becomes the ‘ordinary people’, so the camera is on all of us.”
The Global Nonviolent Film Festival is the world’s leading and most renowned nonviolent film festival. The 11-day event takes place annually online at globalnonviolentfilmfestival.com.
Last year, Global Film Studio launched a streaming channel for nonviolent films that is available everywhere at globalcinema.online. Global Cinema Online offers distribution contract proposals to all the films that are selected to participate in the Global Nonviolent Film Festival.
Submissions to the Festival are now open. The early deadline to register a film is March 30. Filmmakers who do not arrive to submit their work by that date, can still do so before the final deadline of August 30. All entries are received through FilmFreeway: HERE
Established in 2012, the Global Nonviolent Film Festival is the most important and renown non-violent film festival in the world.
Global Nonviolent Film Festival showcases films that do NOT show gratuitous violence.
All the films selected at the Global Nonviolent Film Festival receive a distribution Contract proposal from GlobalCinema.online!
Film Producer Daria Trifu – Festival Director & Co-Founder
When did it start and why?
The 11-day event came on the market in 2012 and it started in a resort city in Romania. In 2016 its founders, film director Bruno Pischiutta and film producer Daria Trifu, took the event on-line giving access to the world’s viewers to watch the high quality non-violent films it showcases.
What type of films are shown at the Global Nonviolent Film Festival?
The public demand for non-violent film as a genre has never been more strong. The films shown at the Global Nonviolent Film Festival are mostly independently made, and they do not contain any acts of gratuitous violence.
There are more and more people in the world who are simply tired of seeing imagined shootings, killings, and torture on the ‘big screen’. They instead look for more than just simple entertainment: they look to discover new talent, new places, different cultures, and to broaden their horizons.
What sets this Festival apart?
What sets this Festival apart are the films it shows, and the fact that they all receive a distribution contract proposal from Globalcinema.online.
There are over 15,000 film festivals in the world today. It certainly isn’t easy to stand-out, but the Global Nonviolent Film Festival did just that: it stood-out of the crowd by identifying and sticking to a niche market of non-violent films, more exactly films that do not contain gratuitous violence. The Festival accepts films and music videos in almost evert genre as long as they do not showcase extreme/graphic violence such as gratuitous killings and shootings, brutal fight scenes, slash and horror.
When it started, it wasn’t easy denying access to films, especially when they were very high quality and sometimes even Studio pictures, if they contained gratuitous acts of violence. Saying ‘no’ to temptation and allowing the event to grow naturally, took time, but it was the right thing to do.
How did COVID impact the event in 2020?
This terrible pandemic had an unexpected positive effect on the Festival. In a year when every other film festival in the world had to cancel or postpone their editions, the Global Nonviolent Film Festival saw a major rise in both film submissions and viewers. This happened because it was already a well established and smoothly running online event, and it required no change in its structure or setting. The organizers had simply to adapt to the three-times higher than usual amount of films and daily presentations, but there were no hiccups and everything ran surprisingly well.
In 2020, the Festival screened 66 films from 30 countries. Of those, there were 11 world premieres. It was a record number.
Where can the Festival be watched?
The web address is globalnonviolentfilmfestival.com. This is where all the films, trailers and Daily Presentations are broadcast.
What happens during the 11-day event?
The schedule of the 11-day event goes as follows:
On the opening day, all the films selected go live on the Festival’s online channel. This way, the public can watch any of them at the time of their choosing.
Every day of the Festival, a new video presentation goes live on the channel. That’s the event’s Daily Presentation where the organizers discuss and highlight one or more of the presented films accompanied by trailer(s). This way, the public has the chance to learn more about the films and their filmmakers.
On Monday, following the closing day of the event, the Awards Presentation goes live on the channel. This gives the filmmakers and the public the chance to celebrate the winners.
All films remain available for viewing on the channel for an additional week following the end of the event. This gives everyone the chance to watch them and, eventually, focus on the awarded ones.
The trailers of the films and the Daily Presentations remain available on the channel for one full year, until next year’s edition. This gives additional promotion to the films.
How much does it cost to watch the films?
The trailers are free to watch and so are the Daily Presentations with commentary about the participating films.
The rest of the channel works on a pay-per-view basis where one can choose and pay for the film they wish to watch individually. Prices go from $1.99 to $13.99.
There are weekly VIP passes available for the event too. They give the possibility to the people to watch any number of films they choose for a period of seven days from the date of purchase. The price for the VIP passes is determined just before the Festival starts, and after the line-up is announced.
Where can the films be seen after?
Many of the films start streaming on globalcinema.online in the weeks and months after the Festival ends.
It is a unique pay-per-view channel showcasing films, documentaries, and TV Series that do not contain gratuitous violence. It is available worldwide.
Global Cinema Online (globalcinema.online) and the Global Nonviolent Film Festival are both owned by Global Film Studio, a Canadian media company focused on ventures that are socially conscious and non-violent.
The Festival is today the primary source of content for the newly launched and ground-braking channel that fills a void in the field of video-streaming services by offering to the public non-violent films that give them the possibility to learn more and to open their mental horizon.
Every film selected at the Global Nonviolent Film Festival receives worldwide distribution with very favorable financial terms:
Non-exclusive contract;
60% of the proceeds goes to the filmmaker;
Geo-blocking is available.
This new reality makes for a win-win situation for all parties involved: the public, the filmmakers, and the Festival.
