LOVE >> Film Screenings...
Read as Love is greater than..., this film festival is dedicated to short films that amplify love and trump hate.
The ten UPLIFTING and HEART-FILLING films from the New York City area and beyond reflect inclusive voices, content and representation both on screen and off. They include comedies, dramas, animation and documentaries that touch in fresh ways many of the issues were all talking about right now, like gender inequality, immigration, race and ethnicity, the LGTBQ+ community, religion, marginalized communities, and more.
Bringing together filmmakers, creatives and YOU, we can build a massive Love Army (Van Jones) by sharing stories that truly reflect the world around us.
Each ticket include entry to screening, talkback and after party.
TWO Screening Times:: Sunday, February 19 @ 6pm & 8:15pm
@ the wild project (195 East 3rd St)
