Here’s a look at what films we are sponsoring today. Will you join us?

Set against the backdrop of the COVID-19 pandemic, Adamu Chan’s powerful documentary What These Walls Won’t Hold shines a light on the transformative power of love and solidarity amidst adversity at San Quentin State Prison.

Following the in-person screening of our two sponsored films, I’ll be moderating the Q&A with the directors and mediamakers of the Transmogrify Shorts Program.
