1. The Common Ground Film Festival
What sets the Common Ground Film Festival apart from most film festivals and series is the way the filmmakers have chosen to tell their stories. The films we select are balanced in their portrayal of conflicts and issues; they avoid stereotyping by focusing on people as individuals rather than as representatives of a group; they promote understanding of the issues and people involved; they give audiences a broader context of the issues; and they show the commonalities among people while not ignoring the differences that divide them.

2. The Common Ground University Film Series
“The Common Ground Film Series' sobering message of introspection, peacemaking, searching for the common ground between parties in conflict, even as ethnic strife engulfed a state in India, was reassuring in that it held out the promise of being able to build something new and create space for dialogue and discussion”.

3. The Common Ground Student Short Film Competition
Because one of our objectives is to encourage future media efforts that take a common ground approach, Search for Common Ground holds an annual student film competition which is open to students currently enrolled in a University program in the U.S. and abroad. The films that are selected will be included in the Common Ground Film Festival in Washington DC and in the travelling Common Ground University Film Series. [more]
