"ARTIVIST" is the 1st international film festival dedicated to addressing Human Rights, Children's Advocacy, Environmental Preservation, and Animal Advocacy. Our mission is to strengthen the voice of international activist artists - "Artivists" - while raising public awareness for social global causes.
The 6th Annual Artivist Film Festival is currently accepting international Film and Video submissions that concern themselves with human rights, social or political issues, children's issues/advocacy, animal issues/rights, or environmental issues. Artivist also accepts films that tell inspirational stories or are empowering. Each year Artivist screens shorts, feature-length films, documentaries, narratives, music videos, experimental and animated shorts directed by established international filmmakers, novice filmmakers and the YouTube community. Since 2004, Artivist has showcased 350 films representing 52 countries, and has publicized its events to over 15 Million people in the United States, U.K., and Portugal.
2009 PROMISES THREE INTERNATIONAL FESTIVAL SITES: The Artivist Film Festival continues to grow internationally! In 2008, after the festival program premiered in Hollywood, Artivist screened films in London, Lisbon, Mexico City and Tokyo. This year, Artivist plans on staging screenings in Hollywood, London, and Tokyo.
