Urbanite Arts & Film Festival

The Urbanite Arts & Film Festival’s mission is to foster the next generation of underrepresented filmmakers in the film industry. Launching its inaugural festival in June 2022, Urbanite Arts & Film Festival will highlight underrepresented voices including, but not limited to, young women, BIPOC, Latinx, LGBTQIA, people with disabilities, and the neuro-diverse communities. Through their art exhibition, we create a platform for a diverse range of young artists to express themselves creatively and launch creative careers.

The festival’s vision is to feature short films, photographs, music videos, and short films and showcase spoken word throughout one weekend August 9-10, 2024. As the festival grows yearly, the vision is to develop offers classes and instructional materials. This vision is to offer avenues to those under-served to help young adults on their journey.
