Welcome to the Houston Chapter of The Zeitgeist Movement. Based on principles of
environmental alignment and use of the scientific method applied toward social and environmental concern, we are advocating a
socially just, sustainable and peaceful way of life. This is referred to as the Resource-Based Economy as proposed by Jacque Fresco,
creator of The Venus Project. At this time, our single most important goal with the
Zeitgeist Movement is to spread the message of a Resource-Based Economy. The best, most active way that any individual can assist
in spreading this message is to educate themselves and become involved in their own local chapter.
Recognizing the power of art and media to help change the world, "The Zeitgeist Media Festival" engages the artistic community and their power to changes values. It proposes that needed changes in the structural/economic workings of society can only manifest in tandem with a personal/social transformation of values in each of us. While intellectual knowledge serves its role of showing the path, many in the world follow their feelings- not the knowledge. The Zeitgeist Media Festival hopes to bridge those levels, while also illuminating a focus where changing and improving the world is no longer considered a fringe, suspect or ever dangerous pursuit.... but rather the highest and most honorable level of personal/social integrity we have. Many seem to forget that the world society as it exists was created by us... and we can change it anytime we want.
