Dr Alan Channer makes documentary films on themes of inter-cultural understanding, conflict resolution and social renewal.

After working as a research scientist in Africa, the South Pacific and China, Alan joined his father on a film project to foster healing and social renewal in post-war Cambodia. The resulting films were broadcast repeatedly on Cambodian television and more than one thousand videos distributed across the country. The father and son team received an award from the Cambodian government and a commendation from King Norodom Sihanouk for this work.

Most notable of Alan Channer’s films is The Imam and the Pastor (2006) - which was launched at UN Headquarters, screened at the World Bank and in the House of Commons, broadcast from Sweden to Somalia, won first prize at the Africa World Documentary Film Festival and was part of the official selection at Cinema Verite, Paris.

Alan is co-Director of For the Love of Tomorrow Films, London, together with Palestinian academic and film producer Dr Imad Karam.
