Social Change Film Festival Information

The 2nd annual Social Change Film Festival & Institute will be held Nov. 28 – Dec. 2, 2012 in New Orleans, LA, USA. The Social Change Film Festival and Institute supports filmmakers to be effective social activists and support social activists to be engaging storytellers. Each year the festival travels to a different site across the globe to create a global community with local presence to promote transformative filmmaking & media that fosters social change through its educational institute. Our inaugural festival (2011) in Ubud, Bali Indonesia tackled the theme "Women & Film" and was an incredible success! We are gearing up for the 2012 Social Change Film Festival & Institute (SCFFI) in New Orleans, which will focus on the crucial theme of WATER. SCFFI seeks global narrative features and short films that engage with significant global social and environmental issues in unique, creative, educational, and action-inspiring ways. The theme for SCFFI 2012 is “water” and films tackling water-related issues will be featured; however, selected films will not be limited to the theme.
