Diversity Film Festival
About
April 15 - May 5
At Tacoma Community College and The Grand Cinema
Tacoma Community College’s Diversity Film Festival seeks to explore and celebrate individual and cultural differences through film. We feature dramatic and documentary films that promise to both entertain and inspire. The festival is celebrating its thirteenth year of bringing together art, ideas, and people. This year's theme is "Laughter as Medicine." All showings have FREE admission.
The Diversity Film Festival Committee hopes that viewers will enjoy the films together and join in the post-film dialogues while keeping the following questions in mind:
- How can humor be used to transform perspectives?
- How can humor be used as a tool of subversion or diversion?
- How can humor unify or create solidarity?
- How can levity and lightness create healing?
- In the face of conflict and crisis, how do we create space for laughter?
The Diversity Film Festival runs April 15 through May 5. Many of the films are hosted at The Grand Cinema, 606 Fawcett Avenue in Tacoma. There are also films shown on the TCC Tacoma campus.
