ANNOUNCEMENT | The Better Cities Film Festival is Coming to Durham February 9+10

Our new partnership promises to deliver ideas for building a better South.

Dear Friends and Supporters,

I am thrilled to announce that for the first time, the Better Cities Film Festival is coming to the South and has chosen Durham as its prestigious host. 

The American Tobacco Campus’ Full Frame Theater on Blackwell Street will host this extraordinary cinematic journey. Mark your calendars for February 9th and 10th to experience the first "Better Cities Film Festival - South” in 2024.  

Durham's rich history and vibrant culture make it the perfect backdrop for our festival's mission: to showcase films and cultivate conversations about creating more livable, equitable, and sustainable cities. We are committed to bringing together creative minds, community leaders, and change-makers to foster dialogue and spark innovation for better urban living. 

The festival will kick off on Friday night at 8 pm with an opening night marquee event showcasing "The Engine Inside," a compelling documentary that explores the transformative power of bicycles in building a better world. This special screening is ticketed separately and promises to be an inspiring start to the festival.

On Saturday, the festival goes into full swing. We will host a day-long interactive event featuring an immersive set of programming. We will start off with a unique walking tour of Downtown Durham at 10 am, offering an intimate glimpse into the city's architectural and cultural gems. The day will continue with a three-block session of films, running from 2 pm to 10 pm, interwoven with panel discussions, all of which are carefully curated to foster engaging dialogue.

Throughout the festival, there will be ample time for thought-provoking discussions, networking, and enjoying local culinary delights during designated lunch and dinner breaks. Our aim is to create an environment that not only entertains but also empowers attendees to become catalysts for change in their own cities.
