Taigh Chearsabhagh are hosting a free screening on Friday 12th November at 7.30pm of 'Peace One Day' by Jeremy Gilley as part of the first CINEMANET EUROPE Pan-European Digital Documentary Film Festival.

This documentary charts the remarkable 5-year journey of the filmmaker as he meets heads of state, Noble Peace Laureates, aid agencies, freedom fighters, media moguls, the innocent victims of war and, eventually, everyone who was anyone at the UN.

An individual genuinely can make a difference: the film documented and inspired the establishment of the United Nations International Day of Peace as a day of global ceasefire and non-violence, now 21st September annually.

The Film received its World Premiere at The Edinburgh International Film Festival, August 2004 and will launch in the US in September. http://www.peaceoneday.org

Cinemanet Europe, independent digital cinema network, is transforming over 200 independent cinemas into digital cinemas in Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, The Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, Slovakia and the UK. It is launching with the first pan-European digital documentary film festival on November 12th and 13th in nine countries. 

The films have been selected by an international jury representing the EDZ partners in every country. This is the first time these films will have been subtitled and distributed across Europe.  The headline film is the inspiring UK Jeremy Gilley's PEACE ONE DAY, opening across 200 cinemas simultaneously - the first time that an independent film-maker has ever been able to release on such an international scale. One  cinema in each country will have a camera and satellite uplink to hold a live Q&A with the director.

The films selected reflect the diverse range of themes covered by contemporary European documentaries – from history to sports and music – and set a high standard for the quality of films Cine-net Europe will distribute in the future.
