The Pomegranate Foundation’s mission is to promote the understanding and prevention of genocide through the support of filmmakers, writers, photographers, musicians and other artists whose projects relate to the experience of genocide, deportation, ethnic cleansing and other human rights atrocities. The Foundation also supports the academic study of genocide prevention in a wide range of formats. The Pomegranate Foundation has three initiatives: POMEGRANATE FILM PROJECT This project supports a major film focusing on the years leading up to a genocide -- the so-called “pre-genocide” period. POMEGRANATE LECTURE SERIES The lecture series features academics who are studying the causes of genocide, comparative genocide and genocide prevention. POMEGRANATE SEED FUND The seed fund supports new filmmakers and other artists who are exploring themes of genocide, deportation, ethnic cleansing and other human rights atrocities in a wide range of media, including new media. It also supports artists from groups which have been affected by genocide. LEND A HAND Click here to learn how you can help the Pomegranate Foundation.
