Filmmakers are passionate about telling stories that matter to them. As a result, independent films span an endless array of topics. The Film Festival allows those films to be seen and those voices heard. Watching independent films from Filmmakers around the world gives us perspectives different from our own experiences.

FOCUS on Impact Film Tour
“As a filmmaker you always wonder what the impact is... and you wonder how it might affect people. But to actually see kids react, engage and have this opportunity to think—What can I do in my community? That’s been amazing; and it’s something I’ve never experienced before.”
— THOMAS MORGAN, Director Storied Streets (Co-produced with Susan Sarandon)
