The National Geographic All Roads Film Festival returns this
fall to Los Angeles, presenting contemporary stories of indigenous and underrepresented minority cultures
through a four-day showcase of film, photography and music at the Egyptian Theatre in Hollywood from September
27-30.

A dynamic, four-day multimedia event that includes live
musical performances and photography displays in addition to short- and
long-form features and documentaries, the festival is part of the All Roads
Film Project, which supports diverse cultural perspectives through the film
festival, grants, a photography program and other opportunities for filmmakers
and photographers to celebrate the vibrant cultural stories of our world. This
year’s festival will present four programming strands: “Women Hold Up Half the
Sky” shines a spotlight on female filmmakers; “Ancestors, Elders and Land”
highlights the connection between native people and their land; “Under the Same
Sun” looks at the struggle that people endure as they confront dual cultural
identities; and “Shorts from Around the World” showcases a wide array of global
cultures. In addition to its film screenings, All Roads will also feature
a walk-through photography exhibit in the Egyptian courtyard, open to all. To access a complete festival schedule and view the event’s trailer, click here.
