Formerly known as the Minority Health Film Festival, Cultures & Communities Festival (C&C Fest) is a week of screenings and events focused on traditionally marginalized communities, creating transformative experiences for all who attend. Taking place September 14th - 18th, C&C Fest is a hybrid event featuring 20+ films, several workshops, panels, and Q&A’s in-person at the re-opened Oriental Theatre, on our virtual platform, and at event venues around the city.

Rooted in the cinematic experience and guided by principles of health equity and cultural inclusivity, C&C Fest’s ultimate goal is to promote individual and communal wellness while inspiring attendees to celebrate their cultural heritage and authentic selves. C&C programming is focused squarely on diverse cultural perspectives and lived experiences, prioritizing representations of historically marginalized communities through film, conversation, and auxiliary events and presentations.

The 2022 Festival will be taking place September 14-18.
