International Film Festival: REEL EQUALS
March 6 – 11, 2025
For 25 years, the Reel Equals Film Festival has shared fresh voices and underrepresented perspectives with in-person and online audiences.
We are known for presenting a carefully curated selection of shorts and feature films from all over the world. Our audiences see great films – and they also develop an understanding of how media shapes our behaviors and life choices, and why broader media representation is so critical.
