Presented by the Social Justice Film Institute, Northwest Film Forum, and the Meaningful Movies Project, the 2021 Social Justice Film Festival is a virtual celebration of the power of people and film to push for change within their homes and communities.

This year’s program runs from October 7–17 and features a competitive, curated selection of short and feature films that highlight many of today’s key human crises. Taken together, these genre-spanning films ask how we activate and create refuge in response to crisis.
