You’re invited to attend the 5th Annual Local Filmmaker Showcase presented by People's Media Fund and produced and hosted by cinéSPEAK!This is event is 5th Annual Local Filmmaker Showcase presented by People's Media Fund (PMF), produced by cinéSPEAK.
How can rituals ground us in reclaiming our stories when we're far from our roots? Many of us have been displaced from our home countries because of political and/or climate instability, queerness, gentrification, and corporate greed. Yet, con fuerza (with strength), we find a way to rebuild new homes and carve new pathways in foreign lands.
Join us for a special community screening featuring films by nine Greater Philadelphia filmmakers. Together, their works explore the rituals, traditions, relationships, and shared experiences that help shape identity, belonging, and community from both diasporic and Philadelphia-rooted perspectives.
