A Home for Social Justice Storytelling
The Social Justice Film Festival serves as a dynamic forum where art and social justice intersect to build community beyond borders and lift up voices, issues, and stories of public importance.
The Social Justice Film Festival is a home for social justice storytelling and filmmakers. Through our educational programming, a network of professionals, and a national film festival, we offer meaningful community-building experiences that mobilize social change in Seattle and beyond. The Festival and Institute is a trusted place to discover social justice films and nurture storytelling skills. We host grassroots events for filmgoers, community groups, and activists to explore social justice films.
The Festival and Institute harnesses the power of social justice storytelling to inspire, empower, and educate. The Festival and Institute serves as a community resource and a critical lens to democratize filmmaking and to make available brave, cutting-edge documentary and narrative stories otherwise absent from the mainstream media. It is a place for activism, where content creators use visual storytelling to imagine and inspire transformational change.
