Project Proposal Bangkok, Thailand June 2026
A Film Festival that bridges continents, cultures and faiths through the universal language of cinema.
A Film Festival that bridges continents, cultures and faiths through the universal language of cinema.
"Peace begins when we truly see each other."
Peace doesn't begin with governments, treaties or speeches. It begins with a single person who decides to truly see another human being.
We believe that the stories we tell each other — and the stories we allow ourselves to receive — are the most powerful force for change on earth. When you sit in the dark and watch a film from a culture you have never encountered, something irreversible happens: you understand. You feel. The "other" becomes a person.
Seeds of Peace Film Festival exists for that moment.
We are not waiting for the world to change.
We are the world changing — one story at a time, one person at a time. And it begins with the person in the mirror.
Seeds don't grow overnight. We build for lasting understanding — not spectacle, not publicity, not trends.
Every person who walks into a screening is invited to look inward first — before judging the world outside.
No nation is too small. No faith is too different. No story is too foreign. All of humanity belongs at this table.
Every nation, broadcaster and supporter who joins is an equal partner in building something the world needs.
"If we rise together and create something that connects people — so they understand each other, and accept one another — this is a worthy beginning."
Seeds of Peace Film Festival was born from a simple conviction: that conflict, hatred and misunderstanding cannot survive genuine encounter. Cinema is the most powerful encounter we know — it lets us inhabit another life, another world, another truth.
Conflicts rooted in race, religion and hidden interest are spreading across the globe. The world's children will inherit this fracture unless we build bridges now.
When people truly see the lives, stories and humanity of others — understanding arises naturally. No speech required. Just a screen, a story, and an open heart.
Bangkok sits at the intersection of East and West — an ASEAN hub where embassies, artists and people from 50+ nations converge every day. The ideal stage.
This project exists to plant seeds of peace and genuine understanding among people across the world — one film, one conversation, one connection at a time.
Each nation's night — sequential, every Tuesday–Thursday

If we rise together and create something that connects people — so they understand each other, and accept one another — this is a worthy beginning.
I am a businessman and an ecosystem builder. My work is to build platforms that lift the people who use them, not platforms that drain them. Seeds of Peace is the same idea, applied to the deepest fracture of our time: the inability of people from different nations, faiths and cultures to truly see each other.
This festival is not a brand exercise. It is a small, honest attempt to plant something real — and to invite every person who reads this page to plant alongside us. We will not claim what we have not earned. We will not announce what we have not signed. Every flag on the wall behind this letter must be earned by an embassy that chose to be here.
Varin Sachdev is the Festival Ambassador of Seeds of Peace Film Festival — a public figure whose voice bridges the worlds of arts, media and cross-cultural understanding.
As Festival Ambassador, Varin is the human face of the festival: building credibility, drawing media coverage and ensuring Seeds of Peace resonates across every layer of Thai and international society.
Seeds of Peace Film Festival is intentionally global. The invitation is extended to embassies across every inhabited continent, every major religious tradition, and every ethnicity — because peace requires all voices at the table.
Each embassy that joins receives:
Each empty slot is an embassy we are inviting.
When they confirm, the seed grows into their flag.
Watch this garden bloom.
Each film in the Official Selection is submitted by its nation's embassy — chosen to represent their people, their stories, and their vision of a more understanding world.
A clear path — for embassies, partners and supporters who want to know what happens next.
Invitation letters delivered. First conversations with embassies, broadcasters, and cultural partners. The seed wall begins to bloom.
Confirmed embassies submit their official film selections. Festival programme begins to take shape. Press preview activities begin.
Public press conference at AUA One Space. Official festival opening. Programme & ticketing announced to the world.
Embassy Premier Rounds → Public Cinema Round → Goal: broadcast handoff. One full month of stories at AUA One Space.
All dates marked "Target" are working dates. Confirmed dates will be locked once embassies and broadcast partners formalise their commitments.
Seeds of Peace is built on partnership — not charity. Every partner becomes part of a permanent, lasting institution.
For organisations who want their name on the foundation itself — the deepest level of partnership.
For diplomatic missions joining the festival with a national film selection and Premier Night.
For broadcasters, cultural institutions and media partners amplifying the stories beyond the room.
For individuals, families and small organisations who want to plant a seed of their own.

Each Gala Night opens with an invitation to contribute — freely, from the heart. Every donation from every nation's night accumulates toward establishing the Seeds of Peace Foundation as a permanent institution for peace.
Public screenings open these stories to anyone who walks through the door. Community participation funds the festival's operations — allowing Seeds of Peace to run, grow, and return every year.
A national broadcasting partner invests in Thai-dubbing production. In return, these stories of peace can reach every home in Thailand — free, forever. The broadcaster's commitment becomes a gift to the nation.
All proceeds beyond operating costs flow into the Seeds of Peace Foundation — seeding future festivals, future conversations, and a more peaceful world.
Nations submit films with broadcast rights
Negotiates TV rights — offered free to broadcasters
Invests fully in Thai-dubbing production
All of Thailand watches, for free
We are in conversation with Thailand's leading public service broadcasters — whose missions and values align most closely with Seeds of Peace. Verbal interest received in principle; formal partnerships pending.
Every seed needs someone willing to plant it. These are the people who have stepped forward and said: I believe in peace. I'm in.
Join them. Leave your mark on this movement.
Together. Right now.
