Save the dates: September 12th – 23rd for The 22nd Oakland International Film Festival.
LIFT UP OAKLAND!
In our pursuit to utilize film as a tool to improve the Oakland economy, the 22nd Oakland International Film Festival will kick- off with two documentaries that share stories of how self-determination and perseverance can lead to community development.
The first doc: RENEGADE , directed by German Torres is a short documentary about Victor Diaz, who utilizes his running store to create a vibrant , rebellious space where “every runner, especially those often underrepresented, can find a home…”
Following the short film “RENEGADE” , we will screen the feature documentary: “THE BRIDGE”.
“THE BRIDGE” , directed by Evan Leong, tells a story of how neighborhood leaders in Los Angeles challenged the barriers of discrimination fifty years ago by establishing a community -focused bank.
DATE: SEPTEMBER 12TH
TIME: 5:30 P.M.
