DESC presents second annual Impact Short Film Festival

You be the judge of the best films at the second annual Impact Short Film Festival!

Watch 11 films that highlight the global crisis of homelessness and the good in people as they change the life of someone who is experiencing homelessness. The finalists were chosen from more than1,200 entries from over 100 countries.

This year we’ll show the films twice: in person on Sept. 22, or over Zoom on Sept. 23. Both events are free, but you will need to register for them.

Live screening: at the Ark Lodge Cinema in Columbia City on Sept. 22, 7 p.m.

Identical virtual screening over Zoom the following night, Sept. 23, 7 p.m.

Each film is 11 minutes long or less–short in length, but huge in impact.

Vote for those which evoke the most compassion, that best portray social justice and the film that best shows how an individual or we as a society can make an impact on homelessness and poverty. We’ll tally the votes from both nights and announce the winner on Monday, Sept. 26.

Thank you to our generous sponsors: Pyramid Communications, True Benefits, Bank of America, AHT Insurance, Lotus Development and Molina Healthcare.

DESC’s main offices are at 515 Third Ave., Seattle. We help people with the complex needs of homelessness, substance use disorders and serious mental illness achieve their highest potential for health and well-being through comprehensive services, treatment and housing.
