Now in its 16th year, the EPFC Human Rights Film Festival seeks to create avenues for dialogue and action using films as a catalyst for change. There will be workshops, films and discussions running for 2 ­days during the festival. FREE EVENT! Come one. Come all!

We will live in a world filled with conflict, oppression and tyranny – however it is the power of people, and love, and dialogue that can and will lead to positive change!

Join for our 16^th year as we present a weekend of films, conversations and kinship to examine the world we live in and what we can do to make it better, with peace and justice for all.
