SF Urban Film Festival presents a program centered around two recent films that explore how community artists assume the role of catalysts, organizers, and ministers and often involve neighbors and residents in transformational acts of creation. Curated by Robin Abad Ocubillo and John Brett.

Rituals of communion, mourning, and celebration express the beating hearts of our communities. Often, community artists assume the role of catalysts, organizers, and ministers - involving neighbors and residents in transformational acts of creation. 

With “Communion and Wellbeing: Arts and Outreach,” the SF Urban Film Festival presents a program at the Tenderloin Museum centered around two recent films, Jeanne Marie Hallacy’s He Had Wings (USA, 2022, 29 min) & ABD/Skywatchers’ The Slow Art of Belonging (USA, 2022, 38 min), that feature Mission and Tenderloin artists whose work with locals has adorned those neighborhoods with murals and performances, inspiring collective action while ritualizing belonging and identity. 

After the screening, join us for a discussion with panelists responsible for impactful social ministry, health, and artistic creation in the Tenderloin and Mission neighborhoods. Featuring Rev. Dr. Glenda Hope, Founder and 40 years Director of SF Network Ministries, Celestina Pearl, LVN/Outreach Director St James Infirmary, Father Richard Smith, Chaplain, SF Night Ministry; moderated by program curators Robin Abad Ocubillo and John M. Brett.
