Confluence is a three-day festival taking place April 19-21, featuring films by local, national, and international filmmakers whose work raises awareness of water-related environmental justice and climate change issues across the globe. Each program will feature a panel discussion with filmmakers, scientists, and advocates, illuminating how community-driven resistance and advocacy efforts help us envision and enact alternatives to the climate crisis.

The event is hosted by the Academy of Natural Sciences of Drexel University, in partnership with BlackStar Projects, Bryn Mawr Film Institute, cinéSPEAK, Philadelphia Asian American Film Festival, and Philadelphia Latino Arts and Film Festival.
