Every artist bears his own responsibility for the state of reduced and diminished power of art in the modern world. We need to find new models of creation and a new peace-making and myth-making language and code of the new art of a non-violent culture of peace.

With his film, the artist can convey emotional impulses so that the viewer's soul, under the influence of the film, feels peace, harmony, happiness or restlessness, disorder and unhappiness of the artist as his own emotions.
Therefore, the film has the role of a psychagogue, i.e. the guide of the soul, that is, the great power for freeing or enslaving the soul of the viewer. That's why the artist should and must be aware of his artistic actions and work, i.e. responsible for the feelings they evoke in viewers.

Can the language of film and video art, to begin with, bring closer and connect cultures and peoples (their ideas and symbols) that are in conflict and conflict so that they can better recognize and recognize each other's right to different meaning of styles of living, creating and existing ? Can film and video art, artists and their works build a bridge between opposing fundamentalist and radical political, economic, philosophical and religious ideologies and dogmas and thus reduce extreme hatreds and radical conflicts?

Film and video art for a new non-violent culture of peace is such an art that has the power to overcome tensions between religions, languages, peoples and cultures. It is an art that, with its stylistic and montage matrices of forms and symbols that communicate or convey ideas and emotions, restores faith in the common genetic pool of all humanity that no longer wants to deal with itself alone, i.e. to support unnatural programs and agendas that lead to new divisions, conflicts and "voluntary", read violent, domination of one over another, elimination of "different", read disobedient, war of all against all and self-destruction.

Every responsible film and video artist should try to design and realize in his works of art a beneficial intersection and permeation of the opposing forces of reality and utopia, limitations and freedom, subjective and objective, material and spiritual. It is necessary to create a new ascetic film and video art of a non-violent culture of peace that can become the common heritage of people today, if we want to preserve and guarantee the sustainable development of the diversity of the differences of the specifics of humanity tomorrow.
