Perry World House (PWH) at the University of Pennsylvania and Resilience Frontiers (RF)—the foresight initiative under the UN’s Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC)—are proud to announce the launch of a new film festival focused on short documentaries featuring stories of resilience. “Global Lens: Visions of Resilience” will accept submissions five minutes in length or less via FilmFreeway. Using the storylines of the RF’s eight transformative pathways as a guide, films should offer a glimpse at an Earth-positive future.
