Reel Power Film Festival at Union College

KFTC was awarded one of fourteen mini-grants to support this Reel Power Film Festival (RPFF). The grant was awared to organizations and grassroots groups that are impacted by natural resource extraction, climate change or are tapping into renewable energy solutions. Working Films’ Reel Power will co-host this event, bringing in filmmakers and organizers to participate in a screening event and encourage cross-pollination of grassroots organizing strategy. With new alliances and KFTC organizing at Union College, this Film Fest will focus on how communities have organized in different areas around the state and beyond, with free screenings of Deep Down and Gasland.
