The World Movie Awards Organization Continues to Safeguard Cultural Heritage in Cinema for the Next Generations

The World Movie Awards Organization (WMAs), a global nonprofit dedicated to cultural expression and unique identity preservation, is working hard to preserve and safeguard intangible cultural heritage domains, and elements in motion pictures in the world today.

In support of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization UNESCO’s Convention for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage, the WMAs will confer awards on motion pictures that incorporate and promote the cultural heritage elements on the lists of Intangible Cultural Heritage and the Register of Good Safeguarding Practices.

“We know that nothing is more important than safeguarding cultural heritage for generations to come,” said Calla W. Kennedy. “We know our identity is connected to our traditional beliefs and cultural heritage, which must be preserved to the fullest extent. Without cultural history, we are likely to forget where we came from.”

The WMAs was founded with a humanitarian aim to preserve unique identities and cultural heritage around the world. With a newfound commitment to globalization in all trading sectors today, autonomous heritage is at risk of decaying due to the blending of groups and people.

The WMAs is working to ensure these cultural boundaries are preserved using their platform, educational resources, and acknowledgement of cinematic works of art.

“We are specifically dedicating our attention to the safeguarding of the world’s most beautiful and diverse cultures through cinema, as per our announcement today,” said Kennedy. “Cinema is a powerful way to capture culture with a visual component that can be shown years from now. We hope you will join us on our mission.
