The short film screening event is brought to you by MÜBARK and Educate to Empower. This is a space for community members, educators, and students to share their stories through creative media while fostering connection and belonging. The program highlights original short films by independent and student filmmakers exploring themes of culture, identity and lived experiences. The selected short films represent a diversity of ethnic identities, language, and local perspectives. 

This event raises funds for future projects and programming dedicated to amplifying stories by marginalized voices. All donations are tax-deductible.
