World Conference of the Prevention of Family Violence

In 2004, an extensive, province-wide roundtable on family violence and bullying resulted in a comprehensive set of recommendations for action. In response to these recommendations the Alberta government took the lead role in bringing together experts, academics and practitioners from around the globe to share information and learn from each other at the World Conference on Prevention of Family Violence 2005 held in Banff, Alberta, Canada on October 23-26, 

ARTHOUSE produced this short film to launch the WCPFV - the film was built to set a tone of hope for the conference. 


We also produced a documentary called Challenge & Hope – Stopping Family Violence and Bullying  that examines the problems of family violence and bullying in Alberta through the voices of victims and experts in the field. This moving documentary was part of the province-wide roundtables.
