The BRIDGE OF PEACE International Film Festival is an online film festival founded in 2021 as an independent initiative dedicated to peace and intercultural dialogue.
Since 2025, the festival has been officially managed and developed by Sauban Film Productions (Paris).

Our team oversees the full scope of festival operations: organization, international partnerships, promotion, technical infrastructure, and the coordination of all festival programs.

We continue to strengthen the mission of the festival — supporting independent cinema, fostering cultural exchange, and promoting films that carry the values of humanism and peace.

The festival is now also exploring new partnerships for hosting a hybrid edition in Paris, expanding its international presence and audience engagement.

Each edition of the festival brings together films from directors across dozens of countries.
From more than a hundred submissions, the selection committee chooses the strongest works — documentaries, fiction films, animation, and children’s films that address important social themes.

The festival is held online, and in 2026 it will take place for the first time in a hybrid format: online screenings open to viewers worldwide, along with in-person screenings, special events, and presentations in Paris.

Participating in BRIDGE OF PEACE is an opportunity to present your film to an international audience, gain visibility on the global festival map, and receive valuable professional feedback.

The main symbol of the festival is the “Golden Dove of Peace” (Golden Dove Award).
It is awarded to films that not only achieve a high artistic level, but also promote the values of peace, mutual understanding, and human dignity.

This award has become a recognized mark of excellence at our festival.
At the end of each edition, these doves take flight across the world, carried by the filmmakers whose work embodies the spirit of peace.
