1. ACT Now 2013-2014 Films Book Club
Watch a film. Get inspired. Make a difference. Read a Book
ACT Now is one of our principal programs. ACT stands for “Action and Change Together”. ACT
Now is the call to action portion of the festival that inspires film-goers to become educated and
respond immediately to certain films and social issues in a positive and proactive way, inviting
social and personal change. This is typically done after viewing a film and Q&A session, and
includes direct and hands-on opportunities to become more educated and be a vehicle of
change. Sign petitions, volunteer, make a donation, and find out ways
you can make a difference.
