The Mission of the SR Socially Relevant™ Film Festival is to shine the spotlight on filmmakers who tell compelling, socially relevant, human interest stories across a broad range of social issues. The festival was created as a response to the proliferation of violence and violent forms of storytelling in media and entertainment. SR believes in the power of cinema in raising awareness of social issues and promoting positive social change. Submissions are received from all over the world.
