OUR MISSION:
The Moving Parts Film Festival was created in 2017 by Chrysalis Pictures with a focus on social justice filmmaking. The festival originally brought together 25 filmmakers who were given the topic challenges of social justice; four original film categories: Women’s Rights, LGBTQ, Prison Reform, and Immigration. In 2018 the film festival opened itself to a wider audience featuring the best in the International Content Creation and providing a safe place for artists to develop into better visionary filmmakers. In 2020 our vision is to grow even wider making our festival accessible to an International Community by switching to an online model. Moving Parts Film Festival wants your help to see the inclusion of #BIPOC, #Women, & #LGBTQIA communities represented in film.
We hope to support our filmmakers by having their films seen by an International Audience and aiding them in getting Distribution Deals with our Selected Partners.
