The live-moderated FILM LECTURE was created from 15.000 photos and 20 hours of film material in collaboration with an ORF employee. The deliberately meditative film lecture is presented on a large screen in HD quality (either 6 or 8 meter wide large screen, 16:9 format) with sound in Dolby Surround on 6 speakers. Duration approximately 2 hours, with a break at the Dardanelles (border between Europe and Asia).

The JERUSALEM WAY is the longest peace route as well as the longest pilgrimage route in the world and was founded in 2006 from a Vision . As an international cultural route, the path leads from the end of Europe in Finisterre to the beginning in Jerusalem. Jerusalem is the most important place for Christians and Jews, a holy place for Muslims and is considered the intersection point of the world's religions.

On the long journey to Jerusalem, the pilgrim passes through countries of all three monotheistic religions and a wide variety of cultures and is, in the truest sense of the word, a stranger in a foreign land (Peregrinus). The pilgrim experiences great hospitality, be it in the countries of the Balkans, in Turkey, in Jordan or in Palestine & Israel.

As a pilgrim of peace, a pilgrim of hope, he breaks down his own prejudices and builds bridges to people, doing peace work at the grassroots level for the human family.

During the film presentation, you can experience the entire “Balkan route” live, the 1700 km route across Turkey and through all of Syria from north to south, as it was there shortly before the war began in 2010. We were able to record cultural assets, some of which are now completely destroyed, and also record the Lord’s Prayer, prayed by a woman in Aramaic! See impressions in Video Syria

The Jerusalem Way follows historical paths as well as new paths, including the traces of the Third Crusade and the paths of the Apostle Paul, as well as important stations in the life of Mother Teresa in the Balkans. Historically, for example, in Kosovo the Amselfeld, where the decisive battle between the Serbs and the Ottomans took place in 1389; Ephesus as the most important archaeological site in Asia Minor; Iconium in the Taurus Mountains, where the army of the Third Crusade under Emperor Frederick I “Barbarossa” was almost completely wiped out in 1190; the Trojan War, where Achilles met his death and the world-famous Trojan horse stands; four of the seven original Christian communities from the Revelation of John / Apocalypse; Antioch on the Orontes with what is probably the oldest Christian church; etc. There are also several tombs of the apostles, a number of important historical places and UNESCO World Heritage sites on the way to the Holy Land.
