RESISTANCE OF VISION
John and Bart to talk to Anna Feder about the short films series Resistance of Vision The brainchild of San Francisco IndieFest founder/director Jeff Ross, with veteran film curator, documentarian, and cinema exhibition consultant Anna Feder serving as the Director of Programming, the Resistance of Vision film festival kicks off with debut presentations across the country, with screenings taking place in locations on each coast, as well as the Midwest and the South. The four short film programs/topics announced for the inaugural festival are Fight The Power (Racial Justice), Our Bodies, Our Choice (Gender and Reproductive Justice), This Is An Emergency (Environmental Justice), and Which Side Are You On? (Labor and Housing Justice). Regarding the film selections for the groundbreaking film festival series’ debut, Feder said, “As so many people around the country look to find voice for their grave concerns due to actions taken by the current administration or make some kind of sense out of living within this unprecedentedly frightening political climate, these films and film programs help to articulate that and start vital conversations we need to have to educate and inspire change.” Resistance of Vision is committed to showcasing stories of resilience and the fight for liberation that are often excluded by corporate-controlled exhibition channels.
