Each year the MSPIFF Spotlight on the World presents a selection of films united by their willingness to address momentous cultural, social, political or humanitarian issues facing the local and global community today. For 2019, the festival puts a Spotlight on stories of Disruption, and those individuals who dare to put themselves in the way of the status quo to instigate change, challenge structures of power, reveal what is obscured, and make possible a more just and hopeful world.
This panel will discuss the themes, messages and impressions that inspire their work and the hunger that drives them to explore without reserve and design films that offer up passionate truths, disrupt prejudice, and often change the way we see the world.
Moderator: Cine Global
Panelists: Lindsey Seavert and Ben Garvin (Love Them First) and Sergio M. Rapu (Eating up Easter)
