SPORTS FILM FEST’S PROGRAMMING
Please join our mailing list to stay up to date for more programming announcements!
We explore the history of sports through film, teaching social justice and starting conversations around the inequalities in sports both on and off the field. With leading partners in diversity, equity and inclusion, we will help create solutions that lead to a more equal playing field for all.

The past few years we have seen an increase in Antisemitism in the sports and entertainment worlds. To fight this, We will create an educational class around the films Glickman and Adidas vs. Puma that brings together athletes, entertainers and our audience, teaching them the history of antisemitism and why is so important to fight it today. This will include a screening tour around the country creating educational opportunities for their communities with filmmaking workshops around artifacts from the 1936 Olympics. You can join us in this fight by making a donation to fund this programming.
Join us the weekend of January 6-8th in Houston during the College Football Championship.
