Monaco Charity Film Festival : 14 – 19 MAY 2007
MONACO (rushprnews) May 12, 2007 -The Monaco Charity Film Festival is a yearly charity event organized by the Pentium Fund Foundation. The focus of the festival is to raise money to help young impoverished and abandoned children with their education, medical needs and housing.
The Monaco Charity Film Festival is also organized to help new and emerging film makers by giving them a venue to show their films. Emerging Film makers will benefit greatly through our film workshops – on how to direct films, how to finance films and on how to distribute films. Our Festival will open the doors to emerging talent in getting their new career and their dreams to come true.
This year, the Monaco Charity Film Festival will for the first time invite several heads of state and first ladies from Burundi, Bahrain, Philippines and the USA to gather together in Monaco to discuss the problems of poverty, peace and economic growth.
Our Monaco Charity Event will soon become the leading venue in Europe for an economic forum and a global growth initiative to find solutions to reduce world hunger and poverty.
