This year's theme is "Rediscover Oakland through film." In short, this theme, is our personal journey of navigating the changes in Oakland since COVID. i.e., a few places we have hosted screenings, mixers, etc., have gone out of business. Who is left or still standing?
Still standing does not just mean in a physical sense, like who is open for business. Still standing also represents a group of people, despite the "covid lockdown" still working, writing, directing and dreaming of manifesting a better day. A prime example is the 20- year vision of Familyhood and its do- now strategy 1st Saturdays – The Official Monthly Volunteer Day at Schools.
