Join in the 5th Annual Anti-Racism Arts Festival taking place in Nanaimo (and virtually) in March 2021.
This spring (March 12-20, 2021) the Central Vancouver Island Multicultural Society (CVIMS), along with several other local Nanaimo partners, in collaboration with the Canadian Cultural Mosaic Foundation (CCMF), are pleased to be hosting the 2021 Anti-Racism Arts Festival.
The festival is a national event that takes place every March, hosted in a different Canadian city each year. Past festivals have been hosted in Calgary, Edmonton, Winnipeg, Vancouver and now it’s coming to Nanaimo and Vancouver Island. It will bring together people from Nanaimo and other Vancouver Island communities to participate in several week-long activities/workshops which features various art and educational activities. The festival hopes to inspire, teach and use creativity as a catalyst for change and action against racism.
The 48-hour film challenge
Throughout the years, the 48-hour film challenge has brought together teams of local amateur and professional filmmakers who are given 48 hours to write, should and edit short films focused on anti-racism. The 2021 Festival films, that are created, will be celebrated at an online Red-carpet screening on March 20, and prizes awarded to the top three by a panel of local judges.
