SUMMARY:Justice Film Festival | NYC
DESCRIPTION:Goldenwood is honored to sponsor the 16th annual Justice Film Festival\, running February 24-26\, 2026 in NYC. The Justice Film Festival is the premier showcase for films that shine a light on social justice and affirm the dignity of all people. \nWe’re especially excited to celebrate the work of Andy Peterson\, a 2023 Dream Forum alum\, who founded JFF in 2012 to create a platform for redemptive stories of marginalized people and ecosystems bravely overcoming challenges and bringing hope\, compassion\, and light to a world in need of inspiration. \nFilm has a unique power to make the invisible visible—to illuminate injustice\, surface beauty\, and call forth courageous love. This festival is an invitation to cultivate that kind of attentiveness together. Join us at this annual gathering of filmmakers\, creatives\, and all who believe that storytelling can renew our imagination and reawaken hope. \n\nWhat You’ll Receive as Part of the Goldenwood Community:\n50% Off Festival PassReceive an exclusive code for 50% off a Justice Film Festival pass.

The Justice Film Festival is one small but meaningful way we can participate in that by listening deeply\, honoring the stories and dignity of people\, and imagining a more just and hope-filled future. \nWe hope you’ll join us. \nTo let us know you’re coming\, email colleen@goldenwoodnyc.org.
