The Ethnic Studies Department's 7th Annual Race and Power Film Festival is set to take place this year from Monday, April 28 to Sunday, May 4. Throughout the festival, a variety of films will be highlighted each day at different times. This year's film festival will be held virtually through the platform Eventive, with an in-person component taking place at the Warrior Steps. Both events are free and open to everyone.
The in-person event will take place on Wednesday, April 30 from 5 -7 p.m. at the Warrior Steps. Free parking is available in Lot 8, and complimentary popcorn and snacks will be provided. This event is free and open to everyone.
The film festival will showcase movies and film directors that focus on underrepresented populations, including Native Americans, African Americans, Chicano/a/xs-Latino/a/xs, and Asian Americans. Films will address a variety of topics that are central to the discipline, including race/racism, colonialism, power relations, intersectionality, representation, empowerment, and activism. We hope the films will inspire critical thinking, empowerment, and social change
