Socially Conscious Art Turns Into Activism
Flicks4Change Film Festival, to be held November 10 at the Ronald Reagan Building, will screen short films, documentaries and other motion pictures that pursue meaningful social change through storytelling.
Flicks4Change unites difference makers with those who want to get things done through such storytelling, grassroots activism, and philanthropy through community. It is the only film festival that brings so many leading nonprofit organizations (NPOs), talented filmmakers, and philanthropic leaders together, under one roof.
All events are at the Ronald Reagan Building & International Trade Center, 1300 Pennsylvania Avenue NW, Washington, D.C.
Activities include a red carpet, short film screenings, interactive exhibits, and a live musical performance by The Leonard, Coleman, & Blunt Band, comprised of former lead singers of the Temptations, Platters, and Drifters.
The audience will participate in discussions with filmmakers and expert speakers, vote on their favorite films, win prizes, and enjoy pre-show cocktails and artisan food
Flicks4Change’s NPO partners and exhibitors will participate on the speakers panels. Flicks4Change partners include CARE International, Halcyon, In A Perfect World, McLean Project for the Arts, Innocents at Risk, Homestretch, The Coalition to Stop Gun Violence, AAH, Kids in the Spotlight, and more.
