SF Urban Film Fest and SOMA Pilipinas Cultural District present film shorts and a panel to spark discussion on how different grass-roots organizations, in San Francisco and Los Angeles, have used arts and culture to promote community preservation and self-determination. We will also explore the potential risks of this strategy including issues of the commodification of people's culture and the attraction of speculative investment leading to displacement of communities.
Co-Presented by SOMA Pilipinas
Curated by Raquwl Redondiez, SOMAPP, and Fay Darmawi
