Impact Project

As a part of Filmfest DC's commitment to encourage civic dialogue, the Impact Project facilitates connections between festival films, filmmakers, and the broader DC community, especially those constituents who may not be the usual audience for a film festival. We collaborate with producers of relevant festival films, providing access to community organizations and groups and partnering with Teaching for Change to take films and filmmakers to DC school classes.

The project is directed by Linda Blackaby, Filmfest DC Senior Programmer, and is supported by a grant from the Wyncote Foundation.
