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.

- Michelle Alexander

7th Annual (In)Justice For All Film Festival

​

NOTE: Our festival is being delayed as a result of user experience testing that did not meet the goals of our festival team. We are in the process of a new round of evaluations, and as soon as that is completed, and a new vendor is chosen, we will post the new festival dates.

 

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 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 goals are 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.
