Presented by Peace is Loud


This special presentation will offer an overview of film impact, covering:

  • What impact is
  • Why we do the work of impact
  • How we put together a strategy for an impact campaign


Collective Lens equips filmmakers with impact frameworks and practices to help them design and implement their own impact campaigns and integrate impact values into their overall filmmaking process.


Attendees will also receive access to the Collective Lens Digital Library, a collection of templates, tools, guides, and resources to accompany filmmakers on their impact plans. 


Once registered, attendees will receive a link to join the talk in their confirmation email. This talk will be live streamed on October 29th at 10am PDT/1pm EDT.


BIO:

Florencia Varela - Program Lead, Learning & Filmmaker Outreach at Peace is Loud

Florencia’s (she/her) work lies at the intersection of learning, social impact, and film. She currently leads Peace is Loud’s learning and filmmaker outreach initiatives, mainly through the organization’s signature program Collective Lens. She previously has worked on impact campaigns for films such as To the End, On the Divide, Knock Down the House, Women War & Peace II, The Bleeding Edge, and The Hunting Ground. In her current role, Florencia seeks to center filmmakers who are currently underrepresented in the industry, and offer spaces to share knowledge, redistribute power, and build community. Previous to Peace is Loud, Florencia honed her partnerships, outreach, and development skills over more than a decade at organizations such as PEN America, the Rubin Museum of Art, the Poetry Society of America, and Nitehawk Cinema, where she launched the cinema’s partnerships and sponsorships program. Florencia is also on the board of The Future of Film is Female and the advisory committee for the Global Impact Producers Alliance (GIPA). She is a published poet, the mother of two young children, and was born and raised in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
