Socially Conscious Cinema

Shoot to break the wheel. Taking an in-depth look at a reality that is at times revolting, unjust, unworthy. Disturbed by the turmoil of our era, socially conscious filmmakers use their talents in service of their convictions. They use the power of cinema power to counter-inform, bear witness and express their vision of the world and initiate change. Beyond advocacy and activism, they offer ideas, alternative ways of expression and mobilization.

Open your hearts and remove your blinders. Let’s join a group of Kurdish women fighting to reclaim their country, lets denounce rape culture in the armed forces, let’s become aware of pettiness and human manipulation, of the impact of trash radio, the silence surrounding the disappearance of First Nations women. What’s more, let’s revisit French news coverage of the November 13 attacks in Paris. Let’s be inspired by films like The Three Sisters Community. But above all, let’s all share these little incendiary devices that disturb the established order.
