The (In)Justice for All Film Festival is an exciting and groundbreaking event designed to raise awareness about the magnitude of the harm caused by mass incarceration by harnessing the creative energies of dedicated, socially conscious filmmakers. See these films, expand your mind, grow your heart, and join the movement for justice.

7th Annual (In)Justice For All Film Festival

October 1st - 10th, 2020

 

ALERT: With the advent of the Covid-19 pandemic our festival committee has decided that we will be moving forward with our 2020 festival as planned. While our desire is to have a typical festival with multiple venues and events over a 10 day period, we are putting in place plans to hold a virtual festival using streaming technology for movie viewings and Zoom conferencing for interactive panel and filmmaker discussions. We are excited by the possibilities of the online festival! We have a wonderful advantage in planning an online festival in that all the technology is already in place - Trinity United Church of Christ has been broadcasting worship services for over two decades. We will be up on a dedicated streaming service and Facebook live. We will also be able to share with an audience of over 8,000 church members and over 30,000 social media followers on our various platforms. We fully expect our online presence to be a component of all future festivals!

​

We continue to be excited about what the future holds and hope that you - our audience, our filmmakers, and fellow activists - will be also.

​

For our festival veterans, be sure to read through our issue focus as we will really be prioritizing films that provide a clear call-to-action. One of the things that has made our festival so unique is that it is entirely free to attend. That is because our goal is to grow awareness of key justice issues, the epidemic of Mass Incarceration sitting atop our list of priorities, and importantly, to grow the contingent of grass roots activists working to address theses issues.
