ACTIVE CINEMA

Sponsored by:
 

A Creative Social Action Network

MVFF’s Active Cinema films are both documentary and fiction, national and international, united in their commitment to raise awareness, educate and engage their audience. It is our hope that the passion and fearlessness of these filmmakers will inspire our audience members to use their talents and abilities daily in an effort to create change. Active Cinema invites you to be the change you want to see in the world.
