Our City Film Festival
The Our City Film Festival is the only festival that showcases DC-focused films. We encourage filmmakers to make films that will bring our communities together and celebrate the rich cultures, stories and scenes that make up Washington, DC.
Started in 2008 by Yachad, a DC non-profit committed to affordable housing and community development, the festival acts as an outreach effort and is now entering its fifth year. Since 2008 the Our City Film Festival has launched filmmakers' careers, helping them gain audiences, press attention, cash prizes and television deals and our loyal audience looks forward to our festival every year. We welcome everyone to Our City.
Join Yachad and Our City for the opening night party or one of many local film screenings! Click here for the schedule and tickets.
