Welcome to the Inthrive Film Festival: Columbus
Two days of films, filmmakers, and the possibility of what we can achieve when we experience the voices and talents of incarceration survivors!
FILMS
Join us at The gateway film center on September 24 & 25
Why attend?
In partnership with the Returning Artists Guild, Film Columbus, & Bell Tree Productions Inthrive Film Festival comes to Columbus on September 24 & 25 for two evenings of films and filmakers who have survived incarceration and gone on to thrive!
Come be a part of the community of incarceration survivors, advocates, allies, and friends that are working to remove barriers to successful reentry!
What to expect
Be moved by films from incarceration survivors. Be inspired by artistic expression. Meet people who have transformed their lives. Get connected with organizations in the Columbus area that are working with people impacted by incarceration.
We're excited to bring you our most filmmaker focused tour event featuring the critically acclaimed Adamu Chan on Wednesday night and Ohio filmmakers Twyana Davis & Kamisha Thomas on Thursday night.
