The Bronx Social Justice Matters Film Festival highlights films (national and international) and filmmakers (professionals and those in the making) with change as their agenda.  Social justice speaks to a global culture of equality. The festival will showcase films that challenge social constructs throughout the world by looking at both the “Bigger Picture “as well as the more personal and intimate perspective.

With this in mind, three CUNY colleges in the Bronx, Bronx Community College, Hostos Community College and Lehman College, along with the United Nations Association of El Salvador and GLACO (Grupo Latinamericano de Consules en New Jersey) created this unique Film Festival.

The Festival runs online from October 22 through October 24 on the FilmFestival + platform. Four films will be selected for awards. A thousand dollars will go to the first-place winner in the category of Documentary Feature Length, while a $500 prize will go to the first-place winners in the Narrative Short and Documentary Short categories, as well as the outstanding work by a student.
