The Chicago International Social Change Festival was created to provide the tools & resources needed to give a voice to the voiceless.
Every day, the stories of too many men, women and children in communities across the globe are not being told. Until these stories are told, until communities across the globe are given a voice, injustice and lack of opportunity will continue to go unaddressed.
That result is unacceptable. Every community has a story that deserves to be told, a voice that deserves to be heard, and solvable issues that must be addressed.
In recognition of that, the Chicago International Social Change Film Festival (or CISCFF) was founded to fight to give communities across the globe a voice and to bring change to the communities who have waited too long for a reason to hope. Today, we ask that you join us in that fight.
CISCFF will provide filmmakers, community members and organizations across the globe with the tools and resources needed to have untold stories told through film and art.
CISCFF, which will take place October 5 -7 and will be u-streamed worldwide, will provide international exposure to the issues showcased in the films while providing direct action opportunities for newly inspired festival attendees and spectators to aid in the fights to address the issues featured in the films shown.
