    CWB announces MOZAIK as sponsor for Bridging The Borders Award

    Burbank, Ca — April 1, 2021 — At Cinema Without Borders, we are thrilled to announce MOZAIK as the new sponsor of our Bridging The Borders Award.  The humanistic goals of MOZAIK, their broad vision of how people of our world should come together, and their understanding of how the art of filmmaking bridges over invisible borders, makes them the perfect match for the Bridging The Borders Award.

    The MOZAIK Bridging The Borders Award will be offered at the Palm Springs ShortFest International Film Festival, The Palm Springs International Film Festival, The Polish Film Festival – LA, The Hungarian Film Festival- LA, Scandinavian Film Festival-LA, Australia’s Montage Film Festival, UK’s Ramsgate International Film & TV Festival and Germany’s LUCAS – International Festival for Young Film Lovers.

    “The idea behind the Award has been to connect people across the globe through the power of film, which has made it a great success during its fourteen years of highlighting films in several local and international festivals,” said Bijan Tehrani, Editor in Chief of Cinema Without Borders. “Receiving heartwarming words from great filmmakers and winners of the Bridging The Borders Award—such as the late Andrzej Wajda, the legendary Polish filmmaker Ari Folman who directed Waltz with Bashir, the Finnish director Klaus Haro, and many others—has encouraged us to look for a brighter, more inclusive future, and that is why we are enthusiastic about our partnership with MOZAIK.”

    “Year after year, filmmakers from around the globe capture through their lenses stories that are deeply rooted in the ideals of justice, human rights, and everyday empathy for our fellow neighbors, both near and far. The Bridging The Borders Award celebrates this form of authentic cinema where viewers find solidarity in the universality of human experience, and, in turn, are moved to meaningful action to address some of the greatest global struggles of our time, ” said Keely Badger, Executive Director of MOZAIK Philanthropy.

    The winner of the MOZAIK Bridging the Borders Award at each festival receives a media recognition spotlights across print and digital platforms.
