Project:Involve Screenings
Through Project:Involve (P:I), Film Independent brings independent feature films directly to underserved communities in the form of free community screenings. These screenings showcase the work of talented underrepresented filmmakers and offer audience members the chance to discuss the film and meet the filmmaker.
The P:I Showcase takes place in April at Disney Hall’s REDCAT and presents films from current and past P:I Fellows. The P:I Screening at the Los Angeles Film Festival in June highlights the feature film of a P:I Fellow and is followed by an After Party. Two additional P:I Community Screenings are scheduled annually and are free and open to the public.
