Fist Up Film Festival

At the Fist Up Film Festival... We believe watching a good film can change your life… We believe some films are made to be discussed… The Fist Up Film Festival presents films that are intended to create impact, inspire discussion and foster understanding. By placing emphasis on the connected experiences between global and local communities, The Fist Up Film Festival creates visual parallels between people’s lived experiences and stories from around the world. Films are shown in May at different venues throughout the Bay Area, California. Most films selected will be Documentaries. We believe that Social Justice films don't have to make the audience feel horrible about the state of the world. We focus on uplifting stories that show our power!
