The human mind is a fertile breeding ground for destruction, mayhem, chaos and turmoil as well as for benevolence, continual growth into the magnificent beings that we are, and for compassion and love.The destructive and debasing images we allow to be projected into this fertile breeding ground everyday through present day fear based, violence addicted media are ours to change. The 19th-21st March 2010 Green Lifestyle Film Festival will set the standard for a new uplifting, challenging, solutions based media both inside the James Bridges Theatre at UCLA where the films were shown, and the film makers were present, to the free OutDoors Arena where the human mind was saturated with live music and inspirational words and images to uplift, motivate and inspire us to live from the highest part of the Human Psyche while feeding the body with truly green, nourishing cuisine. We set the tone for this weekend celebration with a Wake Up Call on the revolutionary and avant garde GREEN CARPET of the Green Lifestyle Film Festival (GLFF) on Friday 19th March at 5pm. Our Green Carpet is the place where the natural beauty and grace of all life forms are valued and celebrated, as we will create a sacred space for reverence of all of LIFE! The Green Carpet opened the Green Lifestyle Film Festival at the James Bridges Theatre at UCLA ( north campus). 2010 GREEN CARPET

The Green Lifestyle Film Festival is a spring board that brings forth vital new ideas. The films infuse wisdom and creativity. A forum of joined-up-thinking. Raw food for thought, that satisfies the cravings of the open minded. Winning an award at Green lifestyle Film Festival stands out as a highlight for many years work and I feel hounoured to be part of such a dynamic event. Peter Hughes, UK
