The Media That Matters Traveling Film Festival

NEXT SCREENING:

Our Festival tours the country all year long with a major screening in a different city every month. These screenings are produced in collaboration with media centers, schools, and nonprofit partners around the country who are invested in bringing important films into their communities.

Traveling Festival events include a screening of the Media That Matters Film Festival DVD and a discussion with filmmakers, activists and community leaders on how audiences can learn more and take action on local and global levels.
