by Ron Schultz, Founder ISAFF
Angelinos, mark your calenders: On October 10, 24, and November 7, our center in Eagle Rock will host the second annual International Social Action Film Festival (ISAFF). After running festivals in nine countries, sixteen cities and seventeen different venues in its first year, this extraordinary social entrepreneurial effort returns home to Los Angeles.
Join us over the course of the three nights of the festival and see a variety of films, from short-shorts to a feature length documentary. All of the films screened highlight the remarkable and often selfless work of local and international social action organizations and the efforts they are making within our communities. These films are a heartening and uplifting testament to our ability to help others and realize our connection to our community.
We will screen the only feature-length film of the festival on November 7: the award-winning documentary — War Dance. This moving story of the struggles and resilience of children living in a Ugandan war region and their remarkable presence in a national performance competition demonstrates the powerful impact our actions can have on the most difficult situations.
On October 10th, join us for a pre-festival screening of a feature documentary — Recalling a Buddha, about the life of the 16th Karmapa.
For a special treat, stay late on November 7 for a post-festival screening of Waiting for Tomorrow, the work of local filmmaker and sangha member, George Gomez.
