Hispanic Access Foundation presents the Our Heritage, Our Planet Film Week, featuring 29 films, that aim to celebrate life through the stories of Latino, Black, Indigenous, and other people of color with roots in nature. A festival spokesperson says that the festival focuses on “learning, experiencing, and uplifting the nexus between human communities and the lands, waterways, and ocean we call home… held in celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month, following Indigenous People’s Day.” FREE tickets are available at the Our Heritage, Our Planet Film Week website.

“More than 1,000 Black, Indigenous, Latino and other people of color submitted their films to the first-ever Our Heritage, Our Planet Film Week,” says Maite Arce, president and CEO of Hispanic Access Foundation. “Not only are these films the life's work and artistry of these amazing film makers, but these films represent stories that need to be known and shared worldwide. Through our film festival, we want to elevate their stories, culture and heritage, but we also want to start a dialogue between communities and decision-makers around the importance of engaging in climate action and policy.”

The Festival also features interactive discussions between artists, communities, and decision-makers on environmental topics. We will be showing a variety of short and feature films relating to the themes of Lands and Nature, Climate Crisis, Equity, Justice, and Health, and Ocean and Waterways.
