The Wandering Reel is a traveling short film festival showcasing compassionate and artful cinema for communities with little or no access to such films. We strive to engage that audience in a deeper conversation about the nature of cinema, the movie industry and the films themselves and how they relate to community, conscious living and making the world a better, more unified place.

Vision

In an era of unprecedented access to media, The Wandering Reel Traveling Film Festival creates a forum to show films and to share in conversation and the experience of a living, artistic and compassionate community. We hope to inspire new storytellers to share their visions while exhibiting film art from all different eras and cultures around the globe.

Mission & Beliefs

Artists have long been at the forefront of social innovation. The Wandering Reel believes in the power of film art to effect positive change, to bring people together through shared cultural experiences and to inspire conversation and collaboration between individuals and communities through the common experience of cinema. By exposing underserved communities with films that are artful in their meaning and compassionate and conscious in their approach, the boundaries that divide people can be slowly stripped away, cultures can be enriched and peace grown across the globe.
