chashama Film Festival 2011

In chashama Film Festivals 4th year, we hope to explore our current world of flux. Peoples actions have a great impact on everything around them, especially the societies in which they live. In this year’s festival, we seek to focus on Chaos Theory: The Rise and Fall of Societies. Societal change is brought on by different ideals of philosophy and sociology, and we want to know how that contributes to groups that flourish, and groups that fall. We speculate about questions like what makes a society want to change, how people are directly involved with societal change, and if a society’s impending collapse can be prevented.At chashama, we believe that film and uncensored media outlets are vital to inform a compassionate and understanding population. We want to convey what is real; real feeling, real questions, and real ideas, and we use film as our medium. At a time of widespread economic and political instability, when the world needs a change toward unification and peace, our action is essential; our action is art.
