One World Films is a non-profit organization that was formed in 1998 to establish an annual film festival in Lexington, Kentucky.
The mission of One World Films is to increase awareness of issues particularly those of culture, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation and gender that challenge the increasingly diverse population of Lexington and the Bluegrass area. Film, lecture and interactive discussion are used to explore issues, promote thought about solutions and increase understanding. We also showcase and encourage the work of local filmmakers who address these critical issues. We successfully bring various sectors of our community together to get to know more about each other through film.
Films are shown at a variety of venues including the historic Kentucky Theater and the Lexington Public Library Theater. We follow some screenings with discussions about the issues brought up in the films. Festival highlights have included film participants and directors discussing their work with audiences and panelists who are expert on the issues raised in the films. All festival screenings are free and open to the public. If you would like flyers for distribution to your employees, customers or friends, you can contact us at owff-lexington@hotmail.com.
We are greatly assisted in our work by the financial backing of local businesses, community groups, and individuals. The names of all sponsors appear in our annual mailing, on posters, and in the programs handed out at each film. If you would like to make a donation, contact Annette Mayer at 859-266-6073.
