Directed and introduced by Jeremy Gilley (1h 21min, UK)
LONDON PREMIERE
LIMITED SEATING - FREE EVENT
The Day After Peace charts the remarkable 10-year journey of award-winning filmmaker Jeremy Gilley to establish an annual Peace Day on 21 September. The camera follows Gilley as he galvanises the countries of the world to recognise an official day of ceasefire and non-violence.
But even after the member states of the UN unanimously adopt Peace Day, the struggle isn’t over. As the years pass, there’s not a single ceasefire. The voices of the cynics are growing louder – and now Gilley’s non-profit organisation, Peace One Day, is in dire financial straits. But he can’t let it fail.
"Through Jeremy's sheer perseverance, a day now exists for people and communities to come together and work towards a peaceful future…we are asking all sectors of society, including every UN member state to commit to actively observing this UN Resolution."
Angelina Jolie
'This is an historic project, rooted in film, which is a medium very close to my heart and I'm immensely proud to be a part of it. This process is about creating an annual moment of global unity; it can only work if we all become involved and it's essential that we do."
Jude Law
Followed by LIVE Q&A with Jeremy Gilley

"A brash and cool energetic.. wild ride." Variety
The festival winners will be announced on the last day of the festival, Saturday 28th of March at The Roxy and on our website on Monday the 30th. Thanks to The Roxy Bar & Screen - The Renderyard Team
