Event Details

The BIPOC film festival is a one day event at Dolby Theaters in downtown San Francisco designed to advance independent filmmakers of color in the media industry. The festival is sponsored by the California State University Media Entertainment Alliance and is dedicated to advancing marginalized voices in the film industry to promote equity and cultural diversity. Our films highlight the stories and experiences of underrepresented communities, particularly of Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC). We understand the power of cinema to bridge cultural divides, educate, and inspire. As such, we believe that our festival is an important step towards creating a more equitable and just society.

BIPOCFFC is a discount code for 20% off for just Funcheap readers.
