Manifesto of “Hope-cinema”

Hope-cinema is a genre that evokes a sense of hope for a bright future.

Stories with a deep positive meaning about how humanity can, through a civilized path, rid itself of wars, poverty, crime, environmental, economic, climate, and other universal human problems.

Hope-cinema is not a utopia, but an artistic exploration of the real possibilities for the positive development of civilization.

The goal of Hope-cinema is to attract the attention of writers, screenwriters, directors, film companies, video game developers, board game developers, and other creators whose works shape people’s perception of the world and influence their emotional experience.

Hope-cinema is intended to inspire a wave of creative initiatives that reveal the best sides of human nature, a culture of cooperation, and the aspiration to solve universal human problems.

These are compelling stories not about the destruction of civilization, but about its flourishing based on the scientific method and critical thinking.

Hope-cinema is a genre that reflects the values of a new culture in which cooperation, knowledge, and care for the world become the foundation for the development of the future of all humanity and every individual.
