Palestinian and Israeli High Schoolers Create an Animated Vision of Peace

This is a great coexistence project that was launched at the International Animated Film Festival. The project aims to help Palestinians and Israelis re-envision the possibility of living together in peace. Originally conceived by Davide Papini and Attilio Valenti, the two seasoned animators partnered with the Office for Peace in Jerusalem of the City of Rome, the Municipalities of Raanana (Israel), and office of Qalqilia (Palestinian Authority).

Since the project aims to help build a vision for the future, "the main protagonists of the project [were] young people, those most defenseless builders of the future and, perhaps, those least intoxicated by the poisonous fumes of reciprocal acts of war and terrorism."

Together the students of two schools, Aviv Secondary School in Raanana, Israel and Al Sadia Secondary School in Qalqilia, Palestine, created the animated filmPace of Peace”, "which portray their thoughts, hopes and expectations for the future and the cohabitation of their two nations." The film had also the artistic supervision of the most prestigious Italian authors, Giulio Gianini and Emanuele Luzzati, twice Oscar nominees.

Enjoy their vision for peace. It's sure to put a smile on your face : ) .
