Halifax International Security Forum uses video to introduce each plenary panel. These short visual essays use a combination of moving images, still images, and popular music to convey appropriate urgency. The videos, together with the written opinion essays and the panel titles themselves, enhance the topics and create an atmosphere that is conducive to constructive and honest conversations that embrace new ideas and inspire action.
