Films uniquely captivate audiences and jumpstart conversations. The films featured by the Greater Washington Immigration Film Festival (GWIFF) tell immigrant stories that promote understanding of immigration and the problems faced by immigrants and encourage conversation about how to respond. GWIFF will show selected feature films and documentaries over four days from October 22-26, 2015 at locations in Maryland, District of Columbia, Virginia. Organizers expect that over 1800 people will attend at least one showing. In addition, the Van Ness UDC Theater of the Arts will host an afternoon Youth Program on Saturday, Oct. 24th, followed by the annual GWIFF Gala and reception in the evening. The Gala will feature a special movie and a high-profile speaker to discuss our immigration system.
