\u201cEvery time I see the news about war, I feel frustrated that there\u2019s nothing I can do.\u201d Have you ever felt this way?<\/h2>\n

Russia, Ukraine, Israel, Palestine, Iran. News about war reaches us every day. If you have ever felt powerless while wondering, \u201cWhat can I do?\u201d then \u3010PEACE DAY x United for Peace Film Festival(UFPFF) 2026\u3011 is for you. Held on September 20, in conjunction with the United Nations-designated International Day of Peace, at Human Trust Cinema Shibuya in Tokyo, this event brings people together through film screenings, talks, and live music to think and learn about what we can do for peace, and to connect with others who share the same aspirations.<\/p>\n

Director Nenad Cicin-Sain spent his youth in the former Yugoslavia and experienced the Yugoslav Wars before becoming a filmmaker in the United States. Concerned about the growing polarization in the United States and around the world and the resulting divisions among people, he created the moving documentary Kiss the Future<\/a>, produced by Matt Damon and Ben Affleck. The film follows the journey toward making U2\u2019s legendary concert in Sarajevo a reality in the aftermath of the Bosnian War. The film will be screened as part of the PEACE DAY Special Program in Part 1.<\/p>\n
