Imagine Peace: Film & Conversation with Fabian Chiquet

The film brings a large question down to a human life. The conversation afterward offers another way to stay with what you have seen, hearing from both the filmmaker and someone involved in peace advocacy.

What can a lifetime devoted to peace offer a world still marked by war? Imagine Peace follows Edith Ballantyne, who fled the Nazis as a teenager and went on to help lead the Women’s International League for Peace and Freedom, or WILPF. Director Fabian Chiquet accompanied her in her later years, creating a portrait that connects one woman’s experience with wider questions about dialogue and peace work. At Kino Cameo, the screening continues with a conversation with Chiquet and WILPF’s Helena Nyberg, moderated by Livia Kozma.

Watch the 95-minute documentary in Kino Cameo’s cinema, followed by the announced conversation with Fabian Chiquet and Helena Nyberg. Livia Kozma moderates the discussion. The film is listed in its original version with German and French subtitles.

A regular ticket costs CHF 18. Join the screening and conversation at Kino Cameo, Lagerplatz 19, Winterthur. The cinema asks guests to arrive before the film starts.
