Film Friday is a free monthly event advancing conversation on urban issues through short films and honest dialogue. Each hour-long event includes free lunch, 20-30 minutes’ worth of film on topics ranging from sustainability to social justice, and conversation afterward facilitated by an outside expert on that month’s topic.
Film’d Fridays are here!
Since the COVID-19 pandemic has limited our ability to gather in person for our standard Film Friday showings, we have improvised and created Film’d Fridays! Each week we will be posting a unique interview that introduces one of our community members and shares their thoughts on the topics that are at the top of all of our minds right now: downtown public life, COVID-19, racial injustices and beyond. We hope these interviews bring our community a little closer while we are all doing our best to safely stay apart. Scroll down to view our most recent Film’d Friday videos!
