Cinema is considered as one of the most powerful mediums, with its accessibility and strength of communication. But the accessibility of cinema has to be mirrored by representation of a multitude of voices.
Art may be a mirror, a pioneer, a kaleidoscope of voices and numerous other elements the creator intends to be. But art and the artist are part of the world they seek to speak about or speak to.

The bridges between these voices and perspectives and the mainstream viewer and market are Film Festivals!
They encourage and engage with diversity of art and representation. They foster critical thinking with respect to stories, art, social issues, politics and seek out better representations of the world and it’s travails.
