Diversity Film Festival

April 21–May 21
Tacoma Community College and The Grand Cinema
Free admission for all showings

Tacoma Community College’s Diversity Film Festival explores and celebrates individual and cultural differences through film. Now in its thirteenth year, the festival brings together art, ideas, and community through dramatic and documentary films that entertain and inspire. This year’s theme is Truth to Power.

Viewers are invited to experience the films together and take part in post-film dialogues centered around questions like:

  • 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?

Screenings take place at The Grand Cinema, 606 Fawcett Avenue in Tacoma, and on the Tacoma Community College campus.
