Programs
The spirit and purpose of the Social Justice Film Festival exist year-round through the Social Justice Film Institute, offering social justice programming and a space for social justice filmmakers, community members, and nonprofit organizations.
Our community events and educational workshops are designed with a focus on social justice. As a social justice organization, SJFI understands the critical importance of representation and access, and amplifying voices historically marginalized. We are an anti-racist organization, committed to equity and justice and will continue to present critical conversations and content around the intersectional issues which aim to spotlight and center voices from the margins.
