Kwanzaa Film Festival presents "Celebrating Films That Heal," a Black History Month Symposium

Join us for a day of film screenings, panel discussions, and a special award ceremony honoring Kwame Amoaku, New York City Deputy Commissioner of Film and Television.

Doors open at 10:30 AM. Program will begin promptly at 11 AM. 

Film Premieres:
Witness the exclusive premiere of two impactful films: "A Heart That Forgives 2" and "Perfect Attention." These films promise to deliver powerful narratives that resonate with the theme of healing through cinema.

Workshops:

  1. Your Brain on Art: Explore the profound impact of art on the human brain and its role in personal and community well-being.
  2. Dispelling the Myth of Youth Activism: Engage in discussions challenging stereotypes around youth activism and discover its true potential for positive change.
  3. Mentoring for the Future of Healthcare: Gain insights into the critical role mentorship plays in shaping the future of healthcare professionals.

This symposium is a unique opportunity to join forces with fellow advocates, storytellers, and community builders. By attending, you contribute to the broader dialogue on using art as a tool for education, mentorship, and advocacy.
