ScreenPeace Film Festival - Dayton, OH
Dayton, City of Peace...

Since the Greater Dayton, Ohio Area has proudly become a national locus for peace activity, in 2007 the Dayton International Peace Museum inaugurated the first annual ScreenPeace series of films that each offered a special perspective on “peace,” motion pictures that literally came to life on the big screen theaters!(See 2007 Calendar and 2008 Calendar)

2008 Wrap-Up

It is typical for endeavors as ambitious as ScreenPeace to take any number of years to break even financially. However, Miami Valley businesses and filmgoers have come together once again to ensure ScreenPeace 2008 ended up in the black.

Thus, again this year, I and everyone connected with the DIPM, would like to extend a heartfelt THANK YOU to our sponsors who again made it possible to keep ticket prices affordable, all the volunteers who gave so freely of their time and energy, and to those of you whose attendance supported the ongoing mission of the Dayton International Peace Museum.

We trust this year’s program was an entertaining and enlightening experience; we are already working on making ScreenPeace 2009 even better...

Please encourage the creative students you know to promote peace (and win cash and prizes!) by entering ScreenPeace 2009’s competition for films/videos produced by local students.

If you know any entities whom we should contact for sponsorship, please email us.

If you have suggestions for motion pictures we should consider for next year’s program, please email us.

A film festival like ScreenPeace is a huge undertaking. If you care to volunteer some time to assist our planning and/or implementation, or if you just want to keep in touch, please email us. ScreenPeace@daytonpeacemuseum.org

We also encourage you to join the Dayton International Peace Museum’s mailing list for monthly emails outlining DIPM activities… and check in on-line here regularly to keep apprised of our progress toward ScreenPeace 2009.

Yours in peace,

Thomas Girvin

Founding Director
