About Our Screenings
Every screening at CLAFF is designed as a space for facilitated conversation and reflection. We partner with established independent neighborhood cinemas to bring cultural programming directly to diverse communities across Calgary.
Through these screenings, we aim to:
-
Explore issues of social justice and migration.
-
Foster intercultural relationships through cinema.
-
Provide a platform for Latin American voices currently underrepresented in our city.
