DAY 3: Saturday March 28th 2009

1:15pm: The Day After Peace
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

Directed by Tao Ruspoli (89 min, USA)

Fix is a one day odyssey through the myriad worlds of Los Angeles as Milo (director Tao Ruspoli) and his girlfriend Bella (Wilde) race to get Milo's brother Leo (Shawn Andrews) from jail to rehab before 8pm, or Leo goes to prison for 3 years.
