Global streaming premiere of the documentary film “The Village of Lovers” February 7

We wish to celebrate with you the release of a major documentary film about Tamera:  “The Village of Lovers”. Three intrepid filmmakers – Ian MacKenzie, John Wolfstone and Julia Maryanska – spent some years attending the Global Love School and studying the work of Tamera, to understand and communicate the vision and culture of our community. After 8 years the trio finally crafted a film that explores the historical and contemporary stories of Tamera.

Charly Rainer Ehrenpreis, one of Tamera’s co-founders, died a year after his interview was captured for the film. In his interview, he mentioned how 40 years ago his friend Dieter Duhm came to him and shared his dream to build a village: “a village of lovers, how we called it”. In that way, Charly gave the film its name, and the film itself honors his life and the crucial contribution of the pioneer generation to what was growing into a complex model for a peace culture.

After years in the making, the film “The Village of Lovers” will be published very shortly. It will be available to watch online between February 7-14, and will be accompanied by an online summit inspired by the film: “A Cry From the Future” , with an amazing selection of visionary artists, activists, and wisdom-keepers who will try to answer the following question: If future generations could send their guidance back in time, what would they tell us? This, by remembering our ancient roots as we strive for a visionary future.

We hope you will enjoy the film and look forward to expanding our reach to the world through this new way of telling our story.
