About Fist Up Film Festival
Welcome to The 17th Annual Fist Up Film Festival! We believe watching a good film can change your life…We believe some films are made to be discussed…
Join us October 1st - 4th in Berkeley, California. We believe that Social Justice films don't have to make the audience feel horrible about the state of the world. We focus on uplifting stories that show our power!
Organized by FistUp.TV in collaboration with La Peña Cultural Center
