Inspire Films believes in the power of film to create social change in our communities.

Join us as we empower students to use their creative skills to give a voice to today’s issues and spark thoughtful discussion and action.

Through our annual film and open media grants, we produce programming on local issues with meaningful context to a global community. Additionally, Inspire Films brings leading scholars, social activists and media professionals to campus through its quarterly programming, including the annual Symposium on Social Issue Media.
