Join us to celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month following Indigenous People’s Day by participating in Hispanic Access Foundation’s Our Heritage, Our Planet Film Week at the New England Aquarium.
In collaboration with the New England Aquarium we will be hosting an in person celebration showcasing the Our Heritage, Our Planet Mini Grantees films. In spring of 2023 we selected BIPOC filmmakers who received a grant to support their upcoming work highlighting their connection with nature.
This is a community building and advocacy space for elevating the voices and experiences of communities of color in connection to Our Heritage and Our Planet; Uplifting the nexus between our communities and the lands, waterways, and ocean we all call home.
Too often these are the voices that are left out, misunderstood, or deemed not as valuable on the topics of climate and environmental justice, when these issues impact our communities the most severely.
We work to intentionally create and curate a space for storytelling, dialog, learning, advocacy, and relationship building. One that brings together diverse audiences to celebrate their work, while uplifting the common threads of our experiences.
We seek to create a space that can provide additional opportunities for funding, employment, education, and exposure for aspiring filmmakers of color.
